Buying licenses for every VM or socket “just to be safe” often leads to 20–40% waste. The calculator rightsizes your purchase. This report outlines the methodologies used for calculation,
Total Instances = (Total VMs) + (Total Physical Servers × 3) + (Total Cloud Instances) The calculator rightsizes your purchase
| Input Category | Data Points Required | | :--- | :--- | | | Number of VMs, Hypervisor Host count (for Socket licensing), CPU Cores per socket. | | Physical Environment | Number of physical servers, OS type (Windows/Linux). | | Cloud Environment | Number of Azure VMs, AWS EC2 instances, Google Cloud instances. | | Workload Type | Agent-based vs. Agentless (affects how instances are counted in some nested scenarios). | | Subscription Term | 1-Year, 2-Year, or 3-Year terms (affects discounting and final price). | | Edition Tier | Essentials, Standard, Enterprise, or Enterprise Plus (Higher tiers include more functionality per instance). |
The Veeam License Calculator is a critical tool for IT administrators, solution architects, and procurement teams. It is used to estimate the licensing requirements and associated costs for protecting virtual, physical, and cloud-based workloads using Veeam Availability Suite or Veeam Backup & Replication.
