4.2.2 Activate Licenses
This pod is designed to use the VMware IT Academy (vITA) infrastructure license keys
for the vSphere ESXi hosts (ESXi01 and ESXi02) and for the vCenter virtual machines.
The vITA Infrastructure license keys are to be used for licensing the master pods using
the root account only. The students are not to have access to the root accounts nor to
the Infrastructure licenses.
Root account credentials are available upon request. Please e-mail
to obtain the vCenter root user credentials.
Since the vITA infrastructure license keys are not to be made available to students, the
administrator will need to configure the master pod with the infrastructure license keys
using the root credentials in the vCenter Web Client. The following table provides a list
of the credentials for the systems in the pod.
