I'm trying to find a way to update the license file of veeam B&R through command line so I could script it.
Veeam Backup And Replication License File LocationWe have multiple Veeam B&R installations, each on a different site.The license files expire every three months, since it are VCP license. Manually updating every license file every three months get's old very fast.
We cannot use the 'auto update' button, because we have multiple support ID's merged in the license files. We also cannot use Enterprise manager, because we don't have VPN tunnels between sites (and enterprise manager won't work through NAT-ed firewalls as far as I know).

Veeam Change Backup Repository


So, is there a way to install a new license file through command line? We do have magement/monitoring software in place that can get the license file to the servers, I just need a command to get it installed in Veeam B&R console.
Thanks for any suggestions!From Veeam Backup & Replication 5.0, license is managed centrally by Enterprise Manager
server. You should not update license on individual backup servers directly, as Enterprise Manager
forces its license to all connected backup servers. In this post we are going to take a look at how to assign Update the License file to the standalone backup server.

To install the new license file to a standalone backup server that is not connected to Enterprise
Manager server:

Select Help> License from the main menu.

Click the Install license button

Browse to the license file (.lic) that was sent to you after registration to install the license.

Click on Open and Click OK. You will be able to see in admin console about the assigned license details.
