About OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter Licensing
The OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenterhas two types of licenses:
Evaluation license | The trial version contains a evaluation license for five hosts (servers) that are managed by the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter.This is applicable only for 11th and later generations. This is a default license and is for a 90 days trial period only. |
---|---|
Standard license | The full product version contains a standard license for up to ten vCenters and you can purchase any number of host connections that are managed by the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter. |
When you upgrade from a evaluation license to a full standard license, a new license XML file along with the Zip file that contains the license file to be uploaded is sent to you by e-mail. Save the file to your local system and upload the new license file using the Administration Console. Licensing presents the following information:
- Maximum vCenter Connection Licenses - up to ten registered and in use vCenter connections are allowed.
- Maximum Host Connection Licenses - the number of host connections that were purchased.
- In Use - the number of vCenter connection or host connection licenses in use. For host connection, this number represents the number of hosts (or servers) that have been discovered and inventoried.
- Available - the number of vCenter connection or host connection licenses available for future use.
- Unlicensed Hosts - The number of host connections that exceeded the licensed amount. The OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter continues to function normally, but a new license must be purchased and installed to resolve this warning
