License question: v4.1 standard upgrade to v5

Hi, I currently have two hosts ESX 4.1 with 96 GB of RAM and two CPUs in each.  Our license is for vSphere 4.1 Standard (8 CPU - but only using 4).  According to the link below, the vRAM for vSphere 5.0 entitement standard is 32 GB with 1 CPU, which, in my case, I technically 48Go by UC.

Can I still upgrade to version 5.0 without license or the removal of the physical RAM problems?

Thank you!

you have 8 CPU's Standard on vSphere 4 that will move to 8 CPU's Standard on vSphere 5 now to a point of view vRAM you will have 8 v 32 GB or 256 GB of vRAM right.

so you'll be fine.  However if you move to several hosts and your stroller by host remains the same, you will need to buy more CPU licenses to allow full use of your stroller once your raise above the threshold of vRAM 256 GB.

hope that clarifies things for you

  • License question: with the help of two "Standard Edition" licenses for > 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

    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.

  • Standard upgrade to a non-genuine Windows XP?

    I did a repair on Win XP installation, used one of several legitimate Win XP Professional CD with one of my several XP license keys.
    It was after a physical reconstruction, the new disk, the new config.
    This version of windows has failed the genuine validation.
    I tried a lot of mods of regedit, different keys;  none worked.
    Support says Windows XP is not supported, in addition to advice would cost me $99 and I had to upgrade to a new version of Windows.

    Question:
    A standard upgrade of Windows will work on a non-genuine Windows XP in base?
    It seems that the 'Get Windows Genuine Online' kit is a clean install, I would rather not rebuild my applications and data.

  • vCenter Licensing Question

    We are currently conducting environment vSphere with vCenter Server 5 5 (using the VCSA).  My vSphere, ESXi licensing have the right to upgrade to vSphere 6, but is not my vCenter license.  After further review, we have seen that the SnS support contact us on our vCenter license had expired in January 2015, so we went ahead and got that renewed back support.  My question is, now that we have renewed the support we may update this license vCenter vCenter license 5 6 or we will have to buy a new license of vCenter 6 new?  I checked my VMware Licensing Portal and this shows that we have supported on vCenter 2018 license, but I don't see any option upgrade to this topic.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to the community,

    as far as I know all the licenses that are (or were taken over at the time a new version was released) by an active subscription can be upgraded. When you select "Update license keys" in the drop down menu "I want", you should be able to select and upgrade your vCenter Server license.

  • Acrobat Pro Trial wiped out my licensed version of Acrobat Standard

    Recently, I wanted to convert a PDF to Microsoft Word, because I couldn't find my original Word file. I thought that Acrobat Standard would, but apparently not. Search online told me I could download an Acrobat Pro Trial license, which can convert PDF files to Word. It worked great, but at the end of my trial license, I discovered that it's REALLY expensive to buy the Pro - same license to upgrade from Standard.

    NOW, I just want back to Acrobat Standard, but the trial Pro uninstalled my licensed version of the standard and go! My licensed version is preinstalled on my new Sony laptop like a beam of Adobe. I have no physical disks or my license number.

    What a mess! How can I go back to what I had before my trial?

    You will need to contact Sony, if they do not include drive and serial number with the computer, and if you keep a proper backup. What do you do if the disk hard failed and had to be replaced, for example expect Sony?

  • Can I use the Vista license that I have just upgraded to windows 7 Upgrade a computer is currently using XP?

    Can I use the Vista license that I have just upgraded to windows 7 Upgrade a computer is currently using XP?

    Lol when you upgrade you send upwards with a license, not two. The license of Vista is subsumed in Windows 7 one and can no longer be used. This is the reason for which an upgrade is cheaper than licensed full.

    Unity double switch integration - licensing question unity 4.0 (3)

    The unit was sold as a single IP integration. My client needs Dual Switch with an Ericsson PBX. I received the license key of ORC, and I opened a folder of TAC.

    TAC said that the license file will not allow installation double switch integration. The Cisco SE on the account indicates that the license key will allow me to make the integration of the double switch.

    Who is right? I heard that the moderator here has all the answers :)

    The is correct. Any customer with a license 4.0 can do double switch. You don't need a special permit.

  • Windows upgrade license question

    I hope that this doesn't look like a stupid or ridiculous question.

    My wife's office is an old, Vista originally had.  It never use it because it's slow; She would rather use her laptop with 8 on it.

    I bought Windows 7 and installed on the desktop.  Still slow and it does not use it yet.  I am so get rid of it.

    But I still have the win7 disk.  I also have another laptop, with Vista.  I would like to put a win10 on the laptop clip.  But we need win7 or 8.

    Y at - it no problem with the installation of the drive on the laptop, then win7 (that WAS installed on the desktop) to upgrade to 10?

    You can transfer the license of Windows 7 at the Vista laptop and upgraded to Windows 10.

    Please note, the 10 current Windows preview does not require any existing version of Windows, you could install Windows 10 Technical Preview now on your current installation of Vista and the right to upgrade to the final version of the preview.

    If you still want to improve the existing Vista install Windows 7, however, it's your choice. If you plan to activate, make sure that is no longer in use on the old office.

    You can do it by formatting the machine then reactivate the installation on the laptop by phone:

    How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
     
    1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
     
    (2) press the ENTER"" key.
     
    (3) select your "country" in the list.
     
    (4) choose the option "activate phone".
     
    (5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
     
    (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  • MXP 75 to 95 MXP Upgrade / license question

    Hello

    I want to improve our edge 75 MXP to edge 95MXP.

    We have the following license.

    85-EDGE75 L

    L EDG75-BW2

    L. 95-85-SM

    LIC-S50000-K9

    In what order upgrade.

    Thanks for the help,

    Stefan

    Hello Stefan,

    Basically, L-EDGE75-to-85 is used to convert it to a 95 edge and the bandwidth option is also required. What you need to do, is first add button option & key of bandwidth using the Web user interface. Once this is done, you can connect to the API and use the following command:

    ProductKey [Key] (press ENTER and restart the codec)

    where [Key] is L-EDGE75-to-85.

    When she returns to the top, the process must be completed.

    Hope that answers your question.

    Kind regards

  • Trying to install a CS5 Design Standard upgrade license on a computer that already broke down...

    I try to install CS5 Design Standard on a computer that already broke down. I managed to solve the problems with a new hard drive. Initially our company bought a license to upgrade an earlier version of Photoshop (CS3, I think) to CS5 Design Standard. (In this case)

    Searching the Internet, I have only to find the Setup file of the full version to CS5 Design Standard of Adobe's Web site, and the serial code I bought (LWS-license) is not accepted. I immagine that I need another program to install, when I need to enter the old code of CS3 in order to re - install the upgrade-license, but how? Would be glad if someone could help me...

    For a single user license, serial number is what dictates if you install an upgrade license, or a full license... the software is otherwise the same for each license.  It is more likely that you are involved with a volume license, in which case you need a special version of the software for it.
