License management in Virtualization Manager version 6.2
In Virtualization Manager version 6.2, the license you have to apply consists of
two parts: a primary and a secondary license. The primary license key is installed
on the Virtualization Manager appliance. The secondary license key is installed
on the SolarWinds Orion server if you integrated Virtualization Manager with your
SolarWinds Orion server. If you use Virtualization Manager without integrating it
with a SolarWinds Orion server, the secondary license is not used.
Note: You can integrate one Virtualization Manager with one SolarWinds Orion
server. To integrate Virtualization Manager with a different SolarWinds Orion
server, deactivate both the primary and the secondary license. The licenses then
become available to be activated again on a different instance.
The following sections provide information about the different steps and order of
activating your Virtualization Manager license, depending on the additional Orion
platform products you use and integrate Virtualization Manager with.
Activating the license on a standalone Virtualization Manager installation
If you install a standalone Virtualization Manager, or upgrade a Virtualization
Manager appliance that is not integrated with the SolarWinds Orion server,
perform the following steps to activate your license.
