From what I read in the last messages on the last page in the below linked forum thread, you can only get such a NFR License once as general IT-Professional before you have to meet certain requirements such as being certified in some way or be a blogger that talks publicly about Veeam products.

So there are also plans to make some cuts to those licenses?
I still truly believe that the IT professionals that are discovering and actively using your products in their own home labs are the ones that pitch it to their employers to buy it - because it is really great software, but you need some degree of experience with it to really know and appreciate all of it.
Yes, it is really sad that the free licenses are getting abused, and I understand that it needs countermeasures against it. But finally from my point of view it is important to ensure that your product remains widely known and high regarded, and having homelabbers (which are generally the most passionated IT professionals) and the general IT community aboard is a big part of that.
