I get this comes down to just "play nicer with Veeam's licensing", but sockets are only viable for a single workload type, while VUL is applicable to any. You move from limitless _virtual machine only_ workloads to more defined amounts of any workloads. > one is still moving from limitless workloads to a finite number of workloads? Not trying to pass the buck, but just want to make sure you're talking to the right people.
Support though won't be able to give you the answer you seek as we just don't have any say in the end contract.Īt best, we can maybe help get you in contact with your sales/renewals rep if you aren't already (feel free to open a General case to ask for help), but Support itself has no role in the sales/renewal process. The Support Team itself doesn't deal with this and as far as I know the exact rate tends to be discussed on a case by case basis, but it starts at 7:1 like Jorge said. (I appreciate your willingness to consider some good faith interpretations ) I think the answers you got from the Support Engineers are non-committal just because the Support Engineers honestly aren't able to give you such an answer and don't want to tell you something wrong and give you the impression we're doing a shell game or something on you. but I can't find this info.Just from the Support Side, continue to work with Sales/Renewals on the details and request escalation to the sales/renewals manager if there are concerns. Is the 15:1 ratio only for certain SKUs of existing socket-based licenses or is the 15:1 conversion ratio applicable to all? I mean I would understand if there was a statement somewhere saying that 1 socket of Standard = X VUl, 1 socket of Essentials = Y VUl etc. Veeam renewals are adamant that the conversion ratio is 7:1, which I thought was applicable to VIL, not VUL? What is actually the case here. Regardless of your Socket license edition, you will get "Enterprise Plus" edition with VUL - because VUL only comes in a single, fully-featured edition.In other words, you name the conversion ratio (up to 15:1). Sockets to VUL conversion ratio is based on the actual number of VMs you're protecting.
You can buy up to two years of subscription at this renewal price.Conversion does not cost anything extra: you just pay your regular socket license renewal price.Conversion is done in conjunction with your Socket license renewal, and you will get VUL for the remainder of your existing contract + added years.Here's the summary of all license conversion perks for the existing customers with Socket-based licenses: Is it possible to convert my existing Socket-based license to VUL?Ī: Yes. Q: I want VUL portability and full feature set.
