Users Guide

● Maximum Host Connection Licenses—the number of host connections that were purchased (with a maximum of 2000 hosts
supported for a single OMIVV instance).
● 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 inventoried.
● Available—the number of vCenter connections or host connection licenses available for future use.
When you attempt to add a host to a host credential profile, if the number of licensed hosts exceeds beyond the number of
licenses, adding extra hosts is prevented. OMIVV does not support managing the number of hosts more than number of host
license is available.
NOTE: Any active license can be used for OMIVV 5.x versions. Licenses backed up from previous instances of OMIVV, or
downloaded again from the Digital Locker can be used for current instances of OMIVV.
