On the Source tab choose Download the backup server setup file from a Veeam web server

This is the recommended way, because the wizard automatically downloads the newest backup server version.

Under Account, give the username and password of the server in the DOMAIN\USERNAME or HOST\USERNAME format.

Note: from SP console version 8.1, you are now able to save your hosts' admin credentials to easily reuse them at the next update.

Then select License edition and highlight the listed license and click Next.

Note: if you don't see any licenses listed here, it means that you have not assigned a license to the company. Click here to see how to do that.

Do NOT reuse license files! Each company must use its own license file.
