How to Merge Veeam Backup & Replication Licenses

To merge Veeam licenses, sign in to your Veeam My Account portal at my.veeam.com, navigate to License management >> Production Licenses, select the desired licenses to combine, click Preview to verify, then click Merge Licenses to generate a single new license file you can download or email. The new license will have the support expiration date of the earliest contract among the merged licenses.

Step-by-Step Guide to Merging Licenses

Sign in to the Portal: Go to my.veeam.com and log in to your Veeam My Account portal.

Navigate to Production Licenses: Select the correct company from the Account Switcher if you have access to multiple accounts, then go to the License management section and click on Production Licenses.

Select Licenses: Choose the specific product and license keys you want to merge.

Preview the Merge: Click the Preview button to see a summary of the licenses being merged and the details of the new, combined license.

Finalize the Merge: After verifying the information, scroll down the preview pane and click the “Merge Licenses” button to complete the process.

Obtain the License File: A pop-up will appear, allowing you to download the new merged license file or send a copy to the license administrator's email address.

Apply the License: Once you have the new license file, apply it to your Veeam Backup & Replication console via the Configuration tab under License.

Important Considerations

License Administrator:

You must be a designated License Administrator to perform the merge.

Expiration Date:

The support expiration date of the new merged license will be the earliest expiration date of the contracts you merged.

Different License Types:

The merge tool can combine different license types, such as Perpetual Socket and Instance licenses, to create a single license key.

License Types and Policies:

Not all license types are mergeable. Consult the Veeam Licensing Policy for more information on specific rules and exceptions, as some licenses, like Veeam Data Platform Essentials, have limitations and cannot be merged with other products to scale beyond their maximum.

Multiple Company Names:

If your licenses appear under different company names in the portal, you may need to contact Veeam Support to open a case to consolidate them under a single company name before merging.
