Question on: Veeam Data Platform
More than one edition?
Can a customer have more than one edition in their environment?
We currently use Version 9.5 but will be upgrading to version 10 soon.
Veeam offers several products with capabilities that vary per edition or per workload type. Here is an Editions Comparison: https://www.veeam.com/products-edition-comparison.html
No, only one edition (Standard, Enterprise or Enterprise Plus) can be used in the same physical location. Furthermore, all licensed editions must be the same across multiple locations to manage them through one Veeam Enterprise Manager.
This requirement applies to all Veeam Backup & Replication deployments, including multi-hypervisor environments. For example, if you have five licenses for vSphere and five licenses for Hyper-V in a given location, all ten licenses must be either Standard, Enterprise or Enterprise Plus.
Current customers who wish to upgrade to Enterprise or Enterprise Plus must upgrade all current licenses in order to receive a merged license file.

Question on: Veeam Data Platform
Separate licenses?
Are any product components (backup servers, backup proxies, backup repositories) licensed separately?
Veeam recently introduced the Veeam Universal License (VUL). This means Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam Agents for Microsoft Windows & Linux, Veeam Availability for Nutanix AHV, Veeam Enterprise Plug-ins for Oracle and SAP and much more will leverage VUL. Learn more here: https://www.veeam.com/blog/introducing-new-universal-license.html
No. The product components are not licensed separately. You can deploy as many of these components as you like while licensed to the correct number of sockets.

Question on: Veeam Data Platform
How is Veeam Backup & Replication licensed?
Licensing
Recently, Veeam introduced the simplified Veeam Universal License (VUL), that gives you to the flexibility to choose what to protect, when you need to protect it, no matter where that workload is located. Learn more here: https://www.veeam.com/blog/introducing-new-universal-license.html
Veeam Backup & Replication licenses are purchased on a perpetual basis with basic or production maintenance, or a subscription license which includes Production 24x7 support.
Veeam Backup & Replication is licensed per CPU socket on hosts with virtual machines (VMs) to be backed up, replicated, monitored or reported on. A license is required for each occupied motherboard socket as reported by the hypervisor API.
Note: Target hosts (for replication and migration jobs) do not need to be licensed.
