This 50-instance, 5-year license with 6-socket support integrates Production Support to ensure you stay ahead of downtime, ransomware, and data loss.

• Comprehensive data protection across diverse environments: Protect VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, physical servers, NAS devices, and cloud workloads from a single, centralized console. Leverage advanced features like application-aware backups for critical workloads (SQL Server, Exchange, Oracle), built-in deduplication to reduce storage footprint, and flexible recovery options—from instant VM recovery to granular file and item recovery. The result is faster restores, lower downtime, and a unified strategy that minimizes management overhead while maximizing reliability.
• 50-instance licensing for scalable coverage: This upgrade unlocks protection for up to 50 instances, allowing you to consolidate backups for a broad mix of servers, desktops, and cloud instances under one license. With a single pane of glass for job configuration, retention policies, and reporting, you can efficiently manage growth—whether you’re expanding virtual environments, adding physical servers, or migrating more workloads to the cloud—without juggling multiple licenses or confusing entitlements.
• Five-year term for budget stability and ongoing value: A long-term license horizon reduces renewal disruptions and supports steady financial planning. The 5-year term ensures you receive continued access to product updates, security fixes, and feature enhancements within the agreement window, helping you maximize return on investment (ROI) while maintaining consistent data protection across evolving business needs.
• Six-socket support for dense, enterprise-class hosts: Designed to accommodate larger hosts and more demanding workloads, the 6-socket entitlement simplifies licensing for dense virtualization clusters and data-center configurations. This reduces the number of licenses needed, lowers licensing administration, and ensures you don’t hit capacity limits as your environment grows—while preserving top-tier performance and reliable backup operations.
• Production Support with commercial pricing for reliability and access: The package includes Production Support, delivering direct access to Veeam experts, faster issue resolution, and proactive health checks to maintain a healthy backup ecosystem. Coupled with clear Commercial pricing, you get full-feature access without hidden costs, ensuring you can deploy, manage, and scale with confidence.
