License for 2 processors

• Licenses for single processor in a server dual socket

  Hi, I keep getting conflicting information regarding the authorization of a CPU socket server two filled with a single processor. The question is what I have to concede to the number of available sockets on a given server even if not all are met? For example, if I have a server for 2 sockets with a single physical processor installed, can I get a license ESX Server for a processor or two outlets available?

  I thought that strategy was changed in 2008, according to the statement of VMware (link below), but one of my colleagues contacted VMware support this last July asking this question and I was told that each outlet available should be allowed regardless of if they are populated with a processor.

  Thank you

  You will need the licenses by "processor in a socket.

  Capacity of the CPU

  Each kit of vSphere or edition is allowed on a per processor basis,

  Depending on the number of physical processors (CPUS) on each host.

  In the case of the kits of vSphere, the payment listed for the capacity of the CPU

  discussed later in this document applies to more than one host.

  Visitors can buy and deploy or redeploy any combination of servers,

  as required; each processor in a socket may contain multiple cores.

• Install the license for VM esxi esxi 4 Vm Server 5

  I installed the vmware server esxi 4 and I got the trial version for about a year now. I bought the license for 4 processors to a vmware esxi 5. Does this mean I have to upgrade the current server Vmware esxi 4 to 5 until I can use this license? or will the license so I can do the upgrade later.

• Is it possible under the EULA to have several virtual machines on a single physical hard disk while using the same OS license or do I need a separate license for each virtual computer?

  I have several programs that are not compatible with my 64 bit Windows 7 operating system.  I would like to run each different software under another virtual machine of VMWare (5 packs of different software programs and 5 different virtual machines of Windows XP).  These would all be installed on your laptop.  I can use the same license of Windows XP for each virtual machine, or do I need a separate XP license for each (different XP in case 5 licenses)?

  It is lifted directly from my EULA:

  1. GRANT OF LICENSE.

  The manufacturer that you grant the following rights, provided that

  comply you with all terms and conditions of this EULA:

  1.1 installation and use.  You may install, use, access,

  display and run one copy of the SOFTWARE on

  THE COMPUTER.  The SOFTWARE may not be used

  by more than two 2-processor both on the

  COMPUTER, unless a greater number is

  indicated on the certificate of authenticity.
  Then...
  This means that as long as you are running two or more instances of XP at the same TIME, you agree? Or does this mean that, after you install once, you have reached your limit?
  I imagine that most people (including those who are running Microsoft!) will say that the second interpretation is correct.
  However...
  If this is the case, anyone their hard drive as a backup to clone strategy would violate the EULA!

• -What someone answering questions on Windows Media Player. I can't download a license for music. It gives me error 438.

  I have Windows Media Player 11

  Hello

  1 have had any changes made to your computer before this problem?

  Perform the following methods and check if it helps.

  Method 1:

  There is a possibility that internet settings are causing this error 438 to come.

  Go to your Internet Explorer and check the settings of Internet security. Make sure to set the level on 'medium high'. If the level is set higher, it can block the Windows Media Player to download the license, Windows Media Player error 438 to come.

  Also in the Internet security settings, it is important to "run activex controls and plug-ins." By activating these two parameters, it must deal with what caused the error to occur in Windows Media Player.

  Method 2: reset the DRM Bank on the computer.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  (a) If Windows Media Player is running, exit Windows Media Player.

  (b) locate the DRM folder on the hard disk, and then rename the folder to DRMbackup DRM.

  Note: by default, this folder is located in the following location in Windows:

  %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM

  (c) visit the following Microsoft Web site:

  http://drmlicense.one.Microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp  

  (d) follow the instructions on the website to update the safety component of Windows Media Player. This procedure allows you to obtain new licenses for media content. You can also reset licenses for purchased content so that you can play that content on a computer.

  Note: DRMs, such as Microsoft Windows Product Activation, maintain an internal hardware ID. This ID is based on the hardware configuration that existed during the installation of Windows or installing Windows Media Player 11. If you change the processor of the computer or other devices, the hardware in the DRM system ID does not match the new computer configuration. When this occurs, DRM determines that a user has tried to move the content protected to a different computer. This behavior can also occur if the storage protected by DRM in the Windows registry has been changed.

  Note: you must contact any third-party stores where you purchased music to reset the licenses for that music. If you copied CDs for protected Windows Media Audio files, the CD must be copied again.

  For your reference: When you try to use Windows Media Player 11 to play a digital rights (DRM) - management protected, multimedia media can not play

• Issue license - 4 physical processors

  I don't know if this is the place, but I had a question about licensing for vSphere Essentials.

  I have a single server, DL580 (with four physical processors) and would get ESXi 6.0 and the VCSA (all) - all about ESXi free edition is fine, except no VCSA (makes me want to look for a solution elsewhere - I do not have any needs HA).

  However, the Kit of Essentials lists the following:

  License law - "3 servers with up to 2 processors each.

  Am I reading this right? I can really use only up to two processors on a single host licenses? The free edition seems to allow me to use all 4!

  Thanks in advance!

  Follow-up (surprised some of the prosaic "answers" by the way).

  It is possible with the Essentials Kit. To license VMware:

  "I wish to inform you that vSphere Essentials Kit to be used on several 3 hosts with - 6 CPU altogether." English vcenter server essentials can manage 3 guests = 6 processors / CPU.

  If you have 1 host (s) of 2 processors and another host of 4 processors, you could still license and manage multiple hosts. »

  The server vCenter license is the limiting factor.

• License question: with the help of two "Standard Edition" licenses for &gt; 8 vCPU by host

  Hi, I've been reading place on it for a few hours and would like to get confirmation here.  I have

  -a physical host: dual processor, 8 cores per processor

  -multiple licenses VSphere 5.0 Standard edition

  -VCenter 5.0 Enterprise Edition

  I want to distribute the VM with 12 vCPU and I expect to consume two licenses Standard Edition - one for each CPU, for a total of 12 vCPU.  When I try to do using VCenter I get error "virtual machine has 12 virtual processors, but the host only supports 8.»  "The number of virtual processors can be limited by the OS selected for the guest virtual computer or licensing for the host."

  I think that it is a license restriction because on the same host, the VSphere evaluation has authorized the deployment of a 12 virtual machine using RHEL 6.3 vCPU.  I checked later vCPU on evaluation copy function and it was 32 channels for it proves that it is not a BONE or a physical problem.  I think I downloaded an evaluation of the 'norm' rather 'Enterprise', but I am not sure.

  I read compare VMware vSphere editions and the 'Standard' column has CPU line: "CPU 1" and line vCPU: '8 - way '.  This makes me think that, for each new license, I should have a CPU with up to 8 cores.  that is by consuming two licenses, I use 2 CPU and up to 16 cores.

  I also read the EULA VMware multi-core pricing and Licensing Policy , and he said:

  Software licenses with six (6) cores per processor

  It does not say "with hearts of six (6) software licenses by host '

  The following excerpt from the EULA is the only evidence that I could find to support the conclusion that for Standard Edition, the maximum number of vCPU for each host is 8 (regardless of the number of licenses consumed);
  Combines VMware licenses on a single host software. Licensing policy allows combining the even on software licenses uniprocessor.

  Someone can confirm the limitation and is there something obvious that I missed to compare VMware vSphere editions.  The difference between host and per processor is huge, I'm surprised that it is ambiguous.

  Thank you

  Diarmuid

  Looking at this picture, it is said that you need 1 VMware Standard license per physical processor that your host has.  Down the chart to the vCPU, who said that a VM can have at most 8 vCPUs (for Standard).  Isn't 8 vCPUs per license, which is 8 vCPUs total.

  The demo version is licensed Enterprise Plus and develops of vCPU 32 on a virtual machine.

• VMware Tools upgrade changes machineID, breaks the issuance of licenses for some applications

  We have this application called localization, manufactured by Hyland Software. Whenever I've upgrade VMware Tools on our ESXi hosts on all virtual machines, it breaks the granting of licenses for the application and localization will not work until the licensing is completely redone. No idea why this is happening?

  Below is the reading of the application regarding the issuance of licenses, and attached is a screenshot of the error in the application. I'm certainly not asking someone to solve the problem of the application, but what on earth could possibly VMTools change that would have caused this? Thanks in advance!

  If this is what is causing the problem?

  I'm sure of it - about 99.9% Yes.

  And if so, what changes would affect a particular software feature licenses?

  "All the virtual machines have a hardware version, which shows the characteristics of virtual hardware that supports the virtual machine, such as BIOS or EFI, number of virtual slots, maximum number of processors, the maximum memory configuration and other features material." - from http://www.vmware.com/products/datacenter-virtualization/vsphere/compute.html

  They probably linked the license to an individual (or several) attribute of the "hardware" of the virtual machine. Think of it regarding a physical system - changed nothing in the operating system (at least not GUID, MSN, etc.), it was something that the operating system has access to related material. You could probably bug them enough and get them to reveal madness method they use for this, but I don't know if it would be really useful. You can leave virtual to older material , to some extent, which means that you can reduce the number of times you have to repeat this process.

• Question about license for Nexus 1000v and it time to stand not licensed ESXi

  Hello

  I have the license for 12 cpu that are 3 popular ESXi with 4 processors each

  so if I add an another ESXi, which will support 60 days

  I'm pretty sure but wanted confirmation

  Thank you

  What version do you use? 2.1 they went to a model free and advanced, depending on the features you need, you can be able to upgrade and continue without additional licenses.

  No doubt, you can convert your current license VSG, contact your engineer.

• Licenses for ESX I have 5 vs physical Reources hosts

  I hope somone can answer this question for me.

  My script is as follows

  
  4 x Dell R710 each with

  2 x CPU sockets

  288 GB OF RAM

  Each ESX host is registered with Enterprise Plus

  All 4 hosts are in a single cluster of 4 nodes

  Given that the new license allows 96 GB of RAM per CPU socket, should I be removing some of the RAM and put it on other servers, or is it possible to apply more licenses for existing servers.  I ask this question because I ran out of memory resources in my cluster.  Yes, I understand the places available in a cluster, but looking at the resources for each host in the summary in vCenter tab, I have more than 60% or more of available memory on each host.

  When I run a script in the cluster by looking at the location of cluster information, I used more slots there are.  My cluster admission control policy has been set to 1 host and I was getting the error on the cluster, saying there isn't enough availbale resources for HA., but when I change the policy of cluster control admission to the processor by 20% and 20% of RAM, I have no problem with HA failover ability resources (even though I'm 96% for the current Capcity of failover memory).

  Any suggestion would be greatley appreciated.

  See you soon

  Ant

  Welcome to the community - a thing to do you know, it's memory is not phtysical of RAM but vortual RAM (vRAM) - the amount of memory used by the virtual machines running on the host - the with the company rock you more to use 96 GB x 2 x 4 or 768 GB vRAM in your enfironment - and that is also a rolling 12-month average so you can approve but to ensure that you are in compliance just add the amount of RAM you assign to virtual machines - and if you have a virtual machine with more than 96 GB just treat as 96 GB.

  To unferstand what is happening with you cluster HA need for more information on virtual machines running - as the number of processors, amount of memory allocated.

• Do we need to buy separate licenses for ESXi and VCenter and 5

  Hello

  I have confusion about the licensing model, I have 2 servers (2 socket) physical with 4 licenses of VMWARE VSPHERE 5 STANDARD 1 PROCESSOR, you can clear my doubts if I need to buy a separate license for VCenter Server and if so, which is the right one?

  Thank you

  Yes, vCenter Server needs to be licensed separately (VMware also offers packaged essentials and acceleration kits). Since you already have the CPU licenses, you can either watch the "vCenter Server Foundation" license that allows to manage up to 3 guests or 'vCenter Server Standard' license without this limitation.

• SRM licenses for the recovery of bi-directional

  Hello

  For some reason any I can't seem to find a clear answer for the new license model for MRS...

  Does anyone know if you still SRM on the two sites of license if you want to use two-way recovery (IE failover Site A to Site B, then the auto restore)?

  So if I had a single license of SRM and had 25 VMS in the protection group, should I buy a license to Site A and one for Site B or the single license now allows me to failover and failback because licenses are tied to the VMS and not to the host CPU?

  I know in the past with per cpu licenses you have to two sites of license if you want to implement bidirectional recovery (because the licenses were related to the host CPU), but with the license model now move to 25 licenses VM by, is this still the case or can I use the license for 25 virtual machines on both sites?

  On another note, if I wanted only to protect 10 VMS, then cut out the license, so only 10 VMs are protected at Site A and 10 virtual machines on Site B?

  Thank you very much...

  Anthony

  Hello

  Bidirectional protection means that both sites have protected running VMs (each site is 'protected' and 'recovery' at the same time, also called active).

  In this case, you will need to authorize all VMs protected on both sites.

  This is not your case, however, if I understand correctly.

  In your situation, you will need to purchase licenses only for VMs protected at the main site. After failover, you can reuse the license key to set up a protection in the opposite direction (from secondary to primary school). After a failover, you can use the same key to license again.

  Generally, the number of licenses you need equals the number of protected VMs. BTW, it's okay by processors also licenses, you only need to license protected running VMs on main site hosts and can reuse the key to perform a backspace.

  Michael.

• Should we have the additional license for managing ESXi4 host?

  We have operated vSphere 4.0 hosts for a period of time.  We will implement ESX4i host in the near future.  We would like to confirm that we can use the existing vCenter Server for the management of the ESX4i host without additional costs.

  In addition, we currently Support Gold for ESX hosts, do we need to purchase additional ESXi support?  Is this host or CPU?

  Your opinion is requested.

  Thank you

  Post edited by: TonyJK

  you have 2 licenses. (you can find them when you connect with the customer for the vcenter tab in admin, licenses)

  1 for the vcenter itself

  1 for esx/esxi hosts.

  So yes, if your license allows 12 processors and you have already used 10 cpu, you can add 1 host more (esx or esxi) with 2 cpu.

  When you delete an esx server, you can of course add another esxi host.
