Veeam 12 License Key Updated Jun 2026

When Veeam released v12, they effectively killed the Free Edition. They didn't just remove it; they removed the functionality to add hosts to the free console. If you upgraded to v12 Free, you would find your existing jobs might still run, but you couldn't add new hosts or sometimes even edit existing jobs without a paid license.
