Expired license for Veeam Agent causes scheduled jobs to fail

Challenge

Although the license information screen shows that the license for Veeam Backup & Replication is valid, scheduled jobs are failing with the following error:

Error    Your trial license has expired

Cause

If Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows or Veeam Agent for Linux running on a trial license is integrated with Veeam Backup & Replication, the expiration of that trial license causes the behavior described above.

Solution

Remove the expired trial license as decribed here.
