OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter

licensing

The OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter has two types of licenses:

• Evaluation license—when the OMIVV version 3.2 appliance is powered on for the rst time, an evaluation license is automatically

installed. The trial version contains an evaluation license for ve hosts (servers) managed by the OpenManage Integration for

VMware vCenter. This is applicable only for 11th and later generations of the Dell servers and is a default license, which is for a 90

days trial period.

• Standard license—the full product version contains a standard license for up to 10 vCenter servers and you can purchase any

number of host connections managed by OMIVV.

When you upgrade from an evaluation license to a full standard license, you will receive an email about the order conrmation, and

you can download the license le from the Dell Digital store that is available at http://www.dell.com/support/licensing. Save the

license .XML le to your local system, and upload the new license le by using the Administration Console.

Licensing presents the following information:

• Maximum vCenter Connection Licenses—up to 10 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 connections or host connection licenses available for future use.

NOTE: The standard license period is for three or ve years only, and the additional licenses are appended to the existing

license and not over written.

When you purchase a license, the .XML le (license key) is available for download through the Dell Digital store that is available at

http://www.dell.com/support/licensing . If you are unable to download your license key(s), contact Dell Support by going to

www.dell.com/support/softwarecontacts to locate the regional Dell Support phone number for your product.
