vCenter Operations Manager Licensing
vCenter Operations Manager and vCenter Server licensing are separate. You can purchase a product license
for the Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise editions of vCenter Operations Manager.
A full license is a permanent license that gives you access to editions of vCenter Operations Manager and all
updates. This license does not have an expiration date. For vCenter Operations Manager Standard and
Advanced, the license is virtual machine based and sets the limit on how many virtual machines
vCenter Operations Manager call pull data from. For vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise, the license is
not virtual machine based and there are no limits on virtual machines or resources.
To apply a license key, see “Assign the vCenter Operations Manager License,” on page 18.
For more information about licensing, see the VMware licensing portal.
Certificate Warnings
When you access vCenter Operations Manager from a browser, security warnings are reported. Warnings
are generated if the certificate is self-signed and not signed by a recognized Certificate Authority (CA) or the
distinguished name field of the certificate does not match the hostname of the server. You must accept the
certificate to proceed with the connection.
How vCenter Operations Manager Uses Network Ports
vCenter Operations Manager uses several different network ports to communicate with vCenter Server and
vCenter Operations Manager components.
The vCenter Operations Manager client uses the following TCP ports to connect to the
vCenter Operations Manager server. Configure your external firewalls so that these ports are open.
NOTE VMware does not support the customization of server ports.
