To add your vRealize Operations for Horizon license key, select Administration > Licensing in the
vRealize Operations Manager user interface and add your license key to VMware Horizon Solution on the
License Keys tab.
For detailed information about adding license keys, see the vRealize Operations Manager Customization and
Administration Guide.
If your vRealize Operations for Horizon license key expires, the vRealize Operations for Horizon adapter
stops populating vRealize Operations Manager with data. If you have a valid license key but you exceed the
license count, vRealize Operations Manager generates alerts and a watermark appears on certain
dashboards. The Horizon adapter does not restrict data when the license count is exceeded.
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 objects are categorized as follows:
Horizon License Group
n
Include view pods, desktop VMs, all hosts, clusters, datastores, and data centers (if any) used by
Horizon.
n
Exclude all objects except above. For example, vSphere VMs, hosts, clusters, datastores, and data
centers.
Product License Group
n
Include all vSphere VMs, hosts, clusters, datastores, and data centers.
n
Exclude all objects that are included in the Horizon License group.
Each license group includes membership criteria that you can use to lter 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.
N The license usage is always 0 when the horizon key is for the Named User license type.
