The license information is kept inside the Windows registry in the following key: So the next step was to find the info inside the Veeam Backup Database but I couldn’t find it either inside the database. I couldn’t find the license info with the Veeam Powershell Toolkit. I decided to dive under the hood and tried to find the places where Veeam B&R holds the license information. But how do you get notified when the license is about to expire? Well I don’t know if there is an option for that, maybe in the Enterprise Portal but as far as I know will it only display an error when the license key is expired. This also applies to the Veeam NFR licenses for vExperts, VCP, MVP, etc. in this program Veeam only supplies “temporary licenses” so you have to deal with an expiration date of the license. I am working for a Veeam ProPartner with a Service Provider partner program. So it’s time for a new post with some “traditional” Powershell so no snappins from VMware or Veeam.
