Veeam Backup & Replication • Service provider - Microsoft licensing requirements

Can anyone share the licensing requirements from a Microsoft perspective when hosting Veeam Backup and Recovery as a service provider? I'm not concerned with the replica/DRaaS licensing, just purely from Main VBR environment and VSPC.

I've spoken to several licensing "specialists" at MS and our Distributors, and I don't think I've ever received the same answer twice. To that end, would any service providers like to suggest how they do it?

I've been told to use SPLA, External Connectors licenses (for VSPC), just regular Volume License, etc. I figured attacking it from the MS side is a failure as they have no idea how Veeam works or what it does. So, I came to the Veeam side hoping someone could shed some light!

Thanks
