Chapter 2: Installing SolarWinds Virtualization Manager
Upgrade:
1. Upgrade SolarWinds NPM or SolarWinds SAM. For upgrade instructions,
see Upgrading SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor or Upgrading
SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor.
2. Upgrade Virtualization Manager. For upgrade instructions, see Upgrading
an existing virtual appliance.
3. Activate the primary license key on Virtualization Manager. For license
activation instructions, see Activating a license key online or Activating a
license key offline.
Note: In this case, you can leave the secondary license unused. However, you
can also activate an evaluation license for SolarWinds Integrated Virtual
Infrastructure Monitor. In this case, see the instructions about Activating the
license on Virtualization Manager integrated with the SolarWinds Integrated
Virtual Infrastructure Monitor.
License management starting from Virtualization Manager version
6.1
Starting from Virtualization Manager version 6.1, you can upgrade licenses
without manual intervention. The appliance periodically connects to the licensing
server, and when it detects that a new license is available, it downloads and
applies the license automatically.
If you are using Virtualization Manager with an evaluation license, the application
does not perform the license update check. The automatic license update checks
start after you activate your first commercial license key, either through online or
offline activation.
By default, the automatic license synchronization is enabled, and the appliance
checks for license updates once every 24 hour. The first license check is
performed 1 hour after the initial startup of the application. This value is controlled
by the license.synchronizer.initial.delay property. You can modify the
default settings in the System Properties page of Virtualization Manager.
