confusion of the vsphere licenses 4

Hello

I have a little confusion on Vsphere4 licenses. We knew all that ESXi 4.0 is a free bare metal hypervisor, to manage ESXi 4.0, use Vsphere4 to manage.

As we all know that when download us ESXi 4.0 Vsphere4 comes with it. But I saw in the vmware page Web tells me that Vsphere4 is not free.

so after that I applied the free license means that I can use the Vsphere4 to manage my ESXi 4.0 for free?

There is no restriction as such. You are allowed to only install the free vsphere Client on N No machine fo.

  • 5 vsphere license keys will work on vCenter 4.1?

    My attempts to record the vSphere license keys 5 on vCenter 4.1 failed with the message "License not found error 5 license file.

    Anyone have any idea if this is due to the difference in versions (ie the vsphere licenses 5 on vcenter 4.1)? or is it perhaps something else?

    No, the keys do not work.

    You must connect to Vmware and manage your license, do a downgrade. (you can do an upgrade later)

    You cannot use both licenses at the same time.

  • vSphere Licensing Model

    Hello

    Can anyone help me please with the vSphere licensing model. For instanace if I buy 1 vSphere Enterprise Plus license then how many ESX servers can fit into this license. And let's say I have 4 ESX servers with 2 CPU (6 cores) each how vSphere then Enterprise license more what I need to buy?

    In addition, vSphere Enterprise license more contain the vCenter license as well?

    Any link, the document about the license will be really helpful

    Thank you

    Mohammed

    > For instanace if I buy 1 vSphere Enterprise Plus license then how many ESX servers can fit into this license

    1 ESX with 1 CPU (multicore).

    > And I have 4 ESX servers with 2 CPU (6 cores) each how vSphere then Enterprise license more what I need to buy?

    ESX 4 * 2 CPUs = 8 licenses.

    > Also, vSphere Enterprise license more does not contain the vCenter license as well?

    VCenter should be purchased separately but a vCenter is enough. You don't have to buy an another vCenter if you want to buy a few new ESX licenses.

  • questions on the installation license vSphere 4

    Hello

    I have 3 hosts ESXi 4 (free) and do the jump to vCenter server. As part of the last server HP ordered, we got to host vSphere Essentials Plus 3 license. I used the activation code to generate license keys on the vmware.com website portal. I also downloaded and installed vCenter using VMware-VIMSetup-all - 4.0.0 - 208156.zip file

    My question is how to apply licenses on the vmware license portal, I see 2 licenses:

    vCenter Server 4 essentials (1 instance) and vSphere 4 Essentials Plus (6 CPU).

    So, clearly the essentials vCenter Server license is installed on the vCenter server. What the essentials most license? Is this also on the server? Have I not to enter certain licenses on each host?  I thought as essentials over the server vCenter license?

    One with 6 processors listed - you can convert?  When I first came to vCenter Foundation, I had a license for vCenter Server and 6 CPU license for vSphere 4 Adv (1 key).  What I had to do was to convert and you can choose how many processors to generate a key for.  Once I did it for 3 guests, I have now 3 license keys.  1 for each host with 2 processors.

    I hope that wasn't confusing.  Let me see if I can get a screenshot.

    I have it.

    You have the 'divide' licenses if you can.  If this isn't the case, I hope someone else can enlighten us.

  • Can not get the eval of vsphere license key

    People,

    Successfully, I registered for an assessment of vSphere with operations management and got my license key "VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite 5.7. When I try to apply this key to my vCenter Server I get the error "license error: 5" "Diagnostic message: not found license file ' (see image). I get this error even when you try to apply this key to my 5.1 ESXi server.

    (Moderator note: capture with screen a.p. deleted license key!)

    I KNOW the license key is not for vsphere, but rather for Operations Manager, but How can I get a trial for vSphere license key? Is it possible to apply the license key that I got to vCenter or should I install the vCenter operations Management unit and apply this license key for this server? The procedure to apply my evaluation license key is NOT FACT CLEAR in all the documentation I've found so far on the assessment of vSphere.

    Could someone PLEASE provide a definitive statement on how to use my provided evaluation license key (see picture) and how to obtain and to correctly apply an evaluation of my vCenter Server license?

    vmware_vsphere_eval_license_2013-06-28.png

    I would be very grateful for any help.


    Thank you.

    Some products require a key for evaluation and others do not. vCenter Server and ESXi running in eval without key mode, but vCOPS requires a key.

    You can use the license on any installation that you like, as long as ensure you that each license is used only once. What you need to do to be completely compatible with the EULA - if you want to use the license with your current configuration - is to install the production environment without adding licenses (i.e. run in eval mode), then migrates virtual machines, withdraw the licenses of pre-production systems and add them to the production system. It is not necessary to republish the keys or something like that, the keys remain the same.

  • Change the 'label' on an active vSphere license?

    All,

    I have a lot of "combined" vSphere licenses groups in vCenter 4.1, I would change the descriptive label on some of the or the vSphere currently loaded in vCenter licenses.

    Cannot do through the UI, I have looked on the tables of database VPX_LIC_ * but don't see anything with the information on the label.  I could go through the center of the license and get the keys to the 'News', but I have to go through several cycles to combine/split to obtain the appropriate keys, too much work.

    Anyone know where this information is stored?  I expect it to be in the same table as VPX_LIC_LICENSES (which is where the license keys are) but no dice.

    Ben

    The label can be changed by going to the page of vSphere vSphere Client licenses, view by product, then developing the object to see its keys.

    Since the key line, click on the label and press F2 to edit the entry (or you can double click on it).

    I've edited all my labels to better describe what they manage (such as Group A, Group B, etc.).

    I was able to do this since vCenter 4.0, tested on 4.1 and it still works fine.

  • Can I add the VSphere Essentials license key to the evaluation version of Vsphere?

    Hi all

    We bought Vsphere essentials and waiting on licenses to get out.  New equipment has arrived and I'm eager to get started virtualize the current environment.

    I can download the demo version of vsphere, start configuring etc THEN add the essentials license key when this happens?

    The toggle features license key in ESX or is there different versions?

    Thanks in advance

    Welcome to the Forums - Yes, you can start with the ESX evaluation mode which is equivalent to Enterprise Plus - so when you apply the essentials license, you will lose the features that you are not allowed to

  • Choose the right license

    Hello

    I am a bit confused with the licenses and hope I can get answers from here. I have a case where VMware ESXi 5 will be installed only on a single server. HP Proliant ML350 G6 (24 GB of RAM, 1 CPU with 4 cores). What would be the best license for this case? No need for vMotion, HA etc because there is only this server. Wouldn't be the essential license? Backups are done with Veaam Backup & Replication 6. Veeam B & R leverages vStorage API and a few other APIs that are not available in the free edition. These are available in all paid versions?

    All versions under vSphere license work with Veeam B & are so you can get just the necessary license.  It is sold as part of the Essentials kit which includes 3 licenses host (up to 2 CPUs) and vCenter Server for Essentials.

  • Assign the PMP license to specific users without TMS

    Hello guys,.

    IM development environment of videoconferencing on my client with this specification:

    -Worm CUCM 11.x

    -Telepresence conductor XC4.0 (only 1)

    -vTelepresence Server ver 4.2 (only 1)

    My problem is im using PMP licenses, no screen. So I really confuse how to assign the license PMP to specific users.

    I already insert the driver's license, like the image below:

    the multiparty license on driver State said: I already have 25 license PMP but assign 0. and he said: if I did a conference call, he used license SMP, so the lack of SMP license error always come. So I need 1 license PMP connection to my user / ext to remove the error warning.

    I can do without TMS?

    If can, please help me with this.

    Thank you all.

    Best regards

    Christophe.

    The recommendation is to use use AD to import users in CUCM and TMSPE to make sure that all the same users are added.  However, you may manually create users in CUCM and TMSPE as long as the details between the two systems are the same, including the address of the video as that will identify the user as long as the host of the CMR.

  • disconnected from the host. license insufficient reason on the host

    Hi all

    I've updated one of my hosts vSphere for version 6 and licensed II and a new device of vCenter 6.  They are installed and are working without problems.  However, when I try and move the 2 x remaining physical servers vSphere Essentials 5 everywhere for the new vCenter device I get a licenssing error.  I added in the vSphere Essentials 5 keys for 2 x new hosts, yet when I try to connect the computers through a process and then puts the servers in a disconnected state.

    Is it because the vCentre server is a Standard license, and 2 extra guests are only Essentials?  There is a version mismatch and so I can not do?  At this stage I can't update the remaining guests of vSphere 5 2 due to licensing.  Will I need to run 2 x side by side vCenter servers, or have I missed something obvious?

    Thank you

    Jay

    Is it because the vCentre server is a Standard license, and 2 extra guests are only Essentials?

    Yes, ESXi host under license with kit Essentials can be managed by essentials vCenter vCenter standard cannot handle them.

  • I have a question on the Adobe licensing model.

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    I have a question on the Adobe licensing model.

    I have a desktop PC and a laptop. In addition, I have a CC Adobe User-single license.

    I installed Photoshop and Lightroom to my desktop PC.

    When I'm on vacation I would like to install and use Photoshop/Lightroom on my laptop...

    while I can use it on my vacation trip.

    Is that possible with my license or do I need an additional license?

    The more I read this topic, more confusing, I think they are.

    What in the hell is customer AVL? I am a customer of the AVL or not?

    Attached is an excerpt from the Adobe Web Site I found:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/end-user-license-agreements-FAQ.html

    Question: Can I use my software on two computers?

    Answer: If you own, or are the main user of a product of Adobe license single user or volume that

    is installed on a computer at work, you can also install and use the software on one secondary

    computer of the same platform at home or on a portable computer. However, you cannot run the

    software at the same time on both primary and secondary computers.

    Not more than one user can use a product from Adobe-single user license.

    Note: The AVL customers must buy two different licenses to use both operating systems, even if

    they have two different computers. They can use the same license on another computer (not at the same time)

    only with the same platform at home.

    Thanks in advance!

    Concerning

    Helmut

    If you subscribe to creative cloud, you are allowed to install Photoshop on a maximum of two slots under your contract. You're not also supposed to use the copies at the same time, it is difficult for a single user in any case. Computers can be PCs, Macs or a mixture of both. What if all you want is to install on a laptop has no problem involved license. I do not think that it is the same for the CS6, but you need to check on that. AVL is an Adobe Volume License and is the preserve of companies that need a lot of copies of Photoshop for their business. They receive one discount per copy, but need to buy in blocks like 10, 20, 50 licenses at a time. I think that you would know if you had one of these? Hope that answers your question.

  • VSphere licensing issues

    The license is very clear on the vmware Web site.  Could someone tell me what the TOTAL licensing costs would be to run a hypervisor on a machine with the following configuration:

    Dell PowerEdge R910 4U rack server

    Four Intel Xeon X 7560 eight 2.26 GHz processor
    256 GB of RAM - 4 x 800 GB SSD SATA - PERC H700, Dell iDRAC6 Express, four PSU


    By using the Vsphere client to manage.


    So, what would be the ADDITIONAL cost if we added another server, just like it?


    Thank you!

    Hello

    vSphere is licensed per socket. So for your server, you will need to purchase licenses vSphere 4.

    price depends on the edition you purchase (standard, enterprise, enterprise +)

    You will also need to pay the annual subscription fee in order to open calls to technical support and get the major updates to the new vSphere (as from 5.X to 6.X) versions.

    Each additional server must be licensed in the same way, by socket.

    Also for managing more of a server and make use all of the cool features of vSphere, you need to allow a vCenter server, which is licensed by installation.
