About 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 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.
