I don’t care about paying for per-VM licensing if the price is justified. We are growing and will add hosts in the years to come. Yes, I can pre-hedge and buy more socket licenses before 2021, but sooner or later I'm betting they won't allow me to renew support OR they will just jack the cost to match. After looking at costs, I'd be paying more for Veeam than it costs to run the environment in the first place with VMware! I'm not sure what else is out there but what is everyone else using? I love Veeam, but I can't justify the massive price increase. This is an every year purchase as they are going away from the perpetual with support based model and to a purchase the product every year model.
Well, I was just informed that Veeam is going away from socket-based licenses in 2021 and if I want to back up a new host(s), I need to buy instance-based licensing at $1100 per 10 VMs. Please contact us for more information and to request a quote.TLDR - See Edit#3 below, things have been clarified, perpetual socket-based licenses are not going away in 2021, miscommunications within Veeam. After July 1, 2022, if additional backup is needed for VMware/Hyper-V VMs, migration to VUL is necessary.įor a FAQ on Veeam Universal Licenses, please visit. In a socket/VUL mixed environment, VUL can only be used for everything else. Note, that sockets only cover VMware/Hyper-V Virtual Machines (VMs). Existing customers may purchase more sockets at the edition and support level of what they already own. New customers can buy VUL and sockets, but when buying sockets, they may only purchase Enterprise Plus edition per socket licenses for Veeam Availability Suite/Veeam Backup & Replication, any edition of Veeam Backup Essentials, and Veeam ONE with Production support. When migrating to VUL, Veeam ONE migrates to Veeam Availability Suite VUL, all other offerings migrate to their VUL equivalent. Until June 30, 2022, existing per-socket customers of Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam Availability Suite / Veeam Backup Essentials and Veeam ONE can buy and migrate to VUL, renew their contracts, and buy sockets. VUL is portable and transferable, and thus future-proof, moving easily across VMware, Hyper-V, Windows, Linux, NAS, Azure, AWS and beyond.
