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 first time, an evaluation license is
automatically installed. The trial version contains an evaluation license for five 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 confirmation,
and you can download the license file from the Dell Digital store that is available at http://www.dell.com/support/licensing.
Save the license .XML file to your local system, and upload the new license file 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 five years only, and the additional licenses are appended to the existing
license and not over written.
When you purchase a license, the .XML file (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.
