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.

Veeam licenses are no longer hypervisor-specific. To get started, simply purchase the correct number of perpetual sockets or subscription instances needed for your virtual environment. Any number or combination of your purchased licenses can be used for VMware vSphere and / or Microsoft Hyper-V environments.

You can purchase licenses for any mix of hypervisors. For example, you may purchase 10 sockets of Veeam Backup & Replication for Hyper-V and 12 sockets of Veeam Backup & Replication for vSphere. You may also swap licenses between hypervisors on an individual socket basis, should you change hypervisor platforms at some future time.
