6 On the Startup Options tab, click Restart service to complete the plug-in installation.
You successfully installed the plug-in. Every time you install a .vmoapp plug-in, a validation is made on the
server configuration. In most cases, you must perform additional configuration steps on a tab that the new
application adds to the Orchestrator configuration interface.
Import the vCenter Server License
To complete the configuration process for the Orchestrator server, you must import the vCenter Server license.
The set of plug-ins delivered with Orchestrator does not require a license. If you add a plug-in that requires a
license, you must import the license.
Prerequisites
Import the SSL certificate for the licensed vCenter Server host. See “Import the vCenter Server SSL
Certificate,” on page 42.
Procedure
1 Log in to the Orchestrator configuration interface as vmware.
2 Click Licenses.
3 On the vCenter Server License tab, specify the details about the vCenter Server host on which Orchestrator
must verify the license key.
a In the Host text box, type the IP address or the DNS name of the vCenter Server host.
b In the Port text box, leave the default value, 443.
c (Optional) Select the Secure channel check box to establish a secure connection to the vCenter Server
host.
d In the Path text box, use the default value, /sdk.
This is the location of the SDK that you use to connect to your vCenter Server instance.
e In the User name and Password text boxes, type the credentials that Orchestrator must use to establish
the connection to vCenter Server.
The user you select must be a valid user with administrative privileges on your vCenter Server,
preferably at the top of the vSphere tree structure.
4 (Optional) To view details, click License details.
5 (Optional) If the version of your vCenter Server is earlier than version 4.0, you must add the license key
manually.
a Click the Add vCenter Server license manually radio button.
b In the Serial number text box, type your vCenter Server license key.
6 Click Apply changes.
7 (Optional) To view details, click the name of the imported license.
8 Start the Orchestrator server.
The Orchestrator server is now configured correctly.
