OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter

licensing

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

• Evaluation license—when the OMIVV 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 90-

day trial version is the default license that is supplied when shipped.

• 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 that are managed by OMIVV.

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

download the license le from the Dell Digital Locker. Save the license .XML le to your local system and upload the new license le using

the Administration Console.

Licensing presents the following information:

• Maximum vCenter Connection Licenses—up to 10 registered and in-use vCenter connections are enabled.

• 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 Locker at Dell Digital Locker. If

you are unable to download your license key(s), contact Dell Support by going to Order Support to locate the regional Dell Support phone

number for your product.
