License Types
With version 3.0 there are two types of licenses. An evaluation license, and a standard license. These licenses restrict
functionality based on time, and the number of Dell 11th Generation or newer hosts.
Evaluation License
When the OMIVV version 3.x appliance is powered on for the first time, an evaluation license is automatically installed. This
evaluation license will allow the OMIVV to operate and manage five ESXi 11th Generation and newer hosts without blocking
any functionality for the 90 day evaluation period from the first power on. Once a standard licnese is uploaded, the evaluation
license is no longer used.
Standard License
A standard license is purchased from Dell. Different purchase SKU’s are used when ordering the license based on the number
of Dell 11th Generation or newer servers running VMware ESXi to be managed, and the duration of product support. The license
includes product support and appliance updates for a periods of ether 3 or 5 years.
