Associate Horizon Objects with Your vRealize Operations for Horizon License
Key
You must associate Horizon objects with your vRealize Operations for Horizon license key by editing
license groups in vRealize Operations Manager.
A license group is a way to gather certain objects, called license group members, under a particular license
key. By default, the vRealize Operations Manager and vRealize Operations for Horizon license groups both
include all host, virtual machine, and datastore objects. Because these objects are members of both license
groups, they are covered by both your vRealize Operations Manager license and your
vRealize Operations for Horizon license.
Each license group includes membership criteria that you can use to filter the objects that are members of
the license group. By editing the membership criteria for the vRealize Operations Manager and
vRealize Operations for Horizon license groups, you can specify that certain objects are covered only under
your vRealize Operations for Horizon license key.
