Veeam: Host with uuid <uuid> was not found

Today I saw a new error with Veeam Backup and Replication. The error was:

Host with uuid “<uuid>” was not found

Within the Veeam console it looks like this:

After a quick search in the Veeam knowledge base I found the Knowledge base article with KB1063.

To fix this issue from the GUI go to Help – License – Licensed Hosts and revoke the license of the host with the new installation.

You can also remove all the licensed hosts via a MS SQL query on the de SQL Database by running the query below:

delete from [dbo].[HostsByJobs]

The reason for this error was a rebuild of the ESXi host.
