What is the difference between free and full versions of veeam backup 6.1
The free version, Veeam Backup™ Free Edition, provides a subset of the functionality in the full (paid) editions of Veeam Backup & Replication.

The free and full editions use the same download and install, with functionality controlled by the presence of absence of a license key.

- The full editions require a valid (unexpired) license key, and are limited to the number of host CPU sockets specified in the license key for each hypervisor (VMware or Hyper-V).
