Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between socket-based licensing and subscription licensing for Veeam?
Socket-based licensing is a perpetual model where you own the license indefinitely, often with annual support contracts. Subscription licensing is a term-based model where you pay a recurring fee for the right to use the software, which typically includes support and updates for the duration of the subscription.
Why should I migrate from my perpetual Veeam license to a subscription?
Migrating ensures you always have access to the latest features, security updates, and support, which is crucial for maintaining robust data protection. Subscription models also offer more predictable budgeting and can be more cost-effective over time as software evolves.
What happens to my existing Veeam data and configurations during the migration?
The migration process focuses on your licensing and entitlement to the software. Your existing Veeam data, backup jobs, and configurations are typically unaffected and will continue to function with the subscription license.
