The Twist: Many admins assumed security features would be baseline. However, the really powerful "Immutability" (making backups so even ransomware can't delete them) and the new "Protected Tenant" features are heavily gated. The "updated license key" story often involves admins upgrading to v12, only to realize their old Enterprise key doesn't unlock the new security dashboard—they need the updated "Enterprise Plus" or specific VUL bundles.
No. The license is installed only on the Veeam Backup Server. Proxies and repositories inherit the license.
