Downgrade and divide vSphere 6 Enterprise license?

Small question

I have not had to do this before, so I want to make sure you do the right thing

We have just received a 20 CPU license for vSphere 6 Enterprise through our portal of VMware.

Normally when we receive licenses via the portal of VMware, we divide it into 2 CPU licenses for our dual CPU servers.

A 20 CPU license is divided into 10 licenses of 2 processors

What of new now, is that we will also install the need to downgrade vSphere licenses 6 in vSphere 5 as we are activating vSphere 5.5

Do I need to downgrade the CPU 20 license, we received in vSphere 5 before that I divide them or do I need to downgrade 10 2 CPU licenses after that I have split them?

Does it matter either way?

I received an email from our VMware counterpart.

In case anyone else needs to know, you can perform this function downgrade/split or split/downgrade anyway

  • Allocation maximum vCPU for Windows Server 2008 Enterprise running on vSphere 4 Enterprise (ESXi 4.1)

    Hello

    I have a guest of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (x 64) running on ESXi 4.1 with a vSphere Enterprise license 4. I believe that the comments and hypervisor should be allowed for and support 8 virtual processors, but when I add more than 4 and try to turn on the virtual machine, I get "market of the VM [virtual computer name] Virtual machine has 8 virtual processors but the host only supports 4. The number of virtual processors can be limited by the selected guest OS for the virtual machine or the granting of licenses for the host".

    The selected guest OS is 'Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (64-bit)'. There is no option in the drop down menu to 2008, Enterprise Edition.

    This configuration is actually supported? If so, what should I do to get it working?

    Thanks in advance,

  • VSphere or ESXi licensing

    Hi I have a dell R815 with 128 GB of physical Ram and 2 popular Cpu with 12 cores of each. I run VMware on it, then we can test and learn the different virtual machines at the same time. Unfortunately, as new Virtualization we are a bit confused by the licensing options. Could someone tell me what is the minimum license should I buy to achieve the following:

    Run multiple machines virtual woth a maximum of 8 virtual processors each and 32 GB of Ram per virtual computer. I'm not worried about DR or some advanced features in this time and I wonder if Vsphere essentials would correspond to my needs? or do I watch another license?

    Any help with this would be much appreciated.

  • Firewall high availability cisco asa can be divided into stand-alone license

    I have two ASA5545-X with HA/active license and now my client has changed the designated and wants to divide these into stand-alone firewall.  How will this affect the license?  Y at - it no problem with that, or they will be able to run just fine as standalone firewall?

    Thank you

    Howard

    Hello

    To my knowledge if the client has obtained the ASA5545-x firewall initially with identical licenses it should be no problem using them separately.

    Because your customer is currently using Active/active failover, this already means that firewalls are in multiple context mode. In turn, this means that he or she was not able to use all the VPN features licensed on the ASA pair and therefore received no VPN license on each unit.

    So it seems to me that, given the information you have so much that there should be no problem using the firewall separately.

    The single license related thing I can think of at the moment, it is that if you want to keep them in multiple context mode and only acquired license of security context for the other.

  • Enterprise license key

    I bought a package of student creative cloud half year, everything has worked. Yet when I lock the account recently, the product list does not show that I bought the package and lost the key to enterprise license. I could download only the tests. What happened and what should I do?

    Thank you

    Hi, it seems that you have logged the creative Cloud Desktop Application and see the trial versions. Please, try the following steps in order.

    1. Make sure you use the good Adobe ID - if added to the dashboard as Federated ID or company ID make sure that you choose the "Enterprise" option when connecting.
    2. Disconnect and reconnect to the software by selecting help > Sign Out
    3. Make sure that you are connected to the internet
    4. The opm.db file contains the login user cached information and delete this file is a useful troubleshooting step. Once deleted a fresh file will be automatically created when you start creative cloud and reconnect.
    • Close the creative cloud application.
    • Navigate to the OOBE folder.
      Windows: [system drive]: \Users\ [user name] \AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
      Mac OS: /Users/ [user name] / folder/Library/Application Support / Adobe / OOBE
    • Delete the file opm.db.
    • Launch the creative cloud.
  • Enterprise license key is not valid.

    We receive an error for our enterprise license key to activate or install CC. The error is "this license key is not valid." It seems even stand for the previous installation, which had obtained his license as soon as possible. This has worked well in the past, but today's questions on the PC of the user within our Organization. I can confirm our license key at licensing.adobe.com, but it will not activate. If someone has received this error before or know how to fix? Thank you, in advance.

    Got the answer. I don't like... but I got it.

    The license key that you are using (and I was) expired on 1 June 2015.

    You will need to buy new licenses.

  • Can we use VMware vSphere 4 Enterprise to manage ESXi 3.5?

    We plan to buy VMware vSphere 4 Enterprise to manage ours 4 ESXi 3.5 hosts, but we are not sure if there is any kind of limitation to do. For example Veeam Backup no longer support ESXi?

    http://www.Veeam.com/news/Veeam-software-offers-new-Essentials-Bundle-acceleration-kits-for-VMware-vSphere4.html

    Thank you

    As we already mentioned, you can manage the 3.5 hosts with vCenter 4.0, but also you can same VMotion VMs between 3.5 and 4.0 hosts. So you can switch to 4.0 without service interruption.

    1. switch vCenter 4.0

    2 migrate all virtual machines on a host, put it in maintenance mode.

    3 upgrade host with Update manager

    4 goto 2 until all hosts are upgraded.

  • Formatting and divide the HARD disk

    Hello
    Could please tell me how to format my hard drive (Toshiba 40 m - 184 AR) and divide it more than the drive C, D, E...
    Do I need a special CD for this?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Mohamed,

    You can partition your hard drive for a full installation of the operating system using the recovery media provided by Toshiba, when you bought your laptop. However, this will cause the re-installation of your system.

    If you have already installed your system and wish to keep it, you will need a software product to handle the repartitioning without crashing your system for you. These products are available commercially (Norton Partionmagic for example). Try Googling for them.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
