Known issues about license date display

If you are using Mozilla® Firefox® as your browser, the license start and end dates might be displayed with no values on the Veeam console. To resolve the issue, view the license information in another browser, such as Google Chrome™.

If you are experiencing this problem and the only browser you can use is Firefox, contact Veeam support for assistance.
