Question on: Veeam Data Platform
What if my virtual environment includes both vSphere and Hyper-V?
vSphere and Hyper-v
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.

Question on: Veeam Data Platform
Is there any difference in price between the vSphere and Hyper-V versions of Veeam Backup & Replication?
Price
No. The same version on Veeam Backup & Replication is available for all workloads — Cloud (AWS, Azure), Virtual (VMware, Hyper-V and Nutanix) and Physical (Windows, Linux)
No. Veeam maintains price parity across hypervisors, which also facilitates being able to swap licenses between hypervisors for free.
