Licensing

ASM licensing is based on the total number of managed resources, except for the VMware vCenter and

Windows SCVMM instances

ASM 8.0 supports following license types:

• Trial License — A Trial license can be procured through the account team and it supports up to 25

resources for 90 days.

• Standard License — A Standard license grants full access.

You will receive an e-mail from customer service with the instructions for downloading ASM. The license

file is attached to that email.

If you are using ASM for the first time, you must upload the license file through the Initial Setup wizard.

To upload and activate subsequent licenses, click Settings → Virtual Appliance Management.

After uploading an initial license, subsequent uploads replace the existing license.
