How to Merge Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 Licenses
Purpose
This article documents the process for merging and unmerging licenses for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 using the Veeam MyAccount Portal.
Note:
- Merging licenses creates a new license file from two or more contract licenses. This process can be performed by the customer using the Veeam MyAccount Portal, my.veeam.com.
- The new merged license will have the expiration date of the soonest-to-expire contract.
- The individual contracts that make up the merged license continue to be separate contracts that must be individually renewed.
- Co-terming licenses involves taking two or more contracts and aligning their contract expiration dates, allowing the multiple contracts to become a single, easier-to-manage contract. For more information, review the "Co-Terming Support" section at the bottom of the Support Renewals FAQ, or contact the Veeam Renewals Team by filling out the Renewal Request form.
