Activating vCloud Suite Components by Using Their Own Licensing Interfaces
You must assign the vCloud Suite license to all suite components. vCloud Director,
vCloud Automation Center, and vCloud Automation Center Application Service provide their own
licensing interfaces for license assignments.
NOTE The vCloud Suite 5.8 license is compatible with vCenter Server 5.1 and 5.5.
Assigning the vCloud Suite License to
vCloud Automation Center Application Service
You can assign the vCloud Suite license key to vCloud Automation Center Application Service to enable full
functionality.
If vCloud Automation Center Application Service is already installed and running and has another license
key assigned, reinstall the product and assign it the vCloud Suite license key.
The license key unlocks the vCloud Automation Center Application Service for Release Automation edition,
which includes the basic features, updating a deployed application, and deploying applications to the
Amazon EC2 environment capabilities.
Assign the vCloud Suite License to vCloud Director
To use vCloud Director as part of the vCloud Suite, you must assign vCloud Director the vCloud Suite
license key.
You can assign the vCloud Suite license key to vCloud Director while installing the component, or you can
assign the license key to an already running instance of vCloud Director.
Prerequisites
You must be logged in to vCloud Director as an administrator.
Procedure
1 On the home page of the vCloud Director Web console, select Administration.
2 Under System Settings, select License.
3 In the Serial number text box, type or copy and paste the vCloud Suite license key.
4 Click Apply.
vCloud Director is licensed for vCloud Suite. The Licensed VM count field does not display any number of
virtual machines, as vCloud Suite license is per-processor.
Assign the vCloud Suite License to vCloud Automation Center 6.0
To use vCloud Automation Center 6.0 as part of vCloud Suite, you must assign it the vCloud Suite license.
To enable the full functionality of vCloud Automation Center, you must assign the license in both the
vCloud Automation Center Appliance and in Infrastructure as a Service.
