Services on a View Transfer Server Host
Transfer
operations for local desktops depend on services that run on a View Transfer Server host. If you want
to adjust the operation of these services, you must first familiarize yourself with them.
All of the services that are installed with View Transfer Server must be running for the correct operation of
local desktops in View Manager.

Add Licenses to VMware Horizon View
If the current licenses on a system expire, or if you want to access VMware Horizon View features that are
currently unlicensed, you can use View Administrator to add licenses.
You can add a license to VMware Horizon View while View Manager is running. You do not need to reboot
the system, and access to desktops is not interrupted.
Prerequisites
For
the successful operation of View Manager and add-on features such as View Composer and local desktops,
obtain a valid license key.
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Product licensing and usage and click Edit
license.
2 Enter the license serial number and click OK.
The Product Licensing window shows the updated licensing information.
Update General User Information from Active Directory
You can update View Manager with the current user information that is stored in Active Directory. This feature
updates the name, phone, email, user name, and default Windows domain of View users. The trusted external
domains are also updated.
Use this feature if you modify the list of trusted external domains in Active Directory, especially if the altered
trust relationships between domains affect user permissions in View Manager.
This feature scans Active Directory for the latest user information and refreshes the View Manager
configuration.
