  Can I install a vCenter license-free in my lab ESXi?

  I have material available since I migrated to our company SAN ESXi and want to create a laboratory. I have a few questions:

  (1) can I install a vCenter license-free in my lab ESXi or am I can only use vSphere to connect to my ESXi 2 lab hosts?

  (2) create a cluster environment even if I use the free ESXi version to mimic my ESXi connected to a San company Production?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Yes, you can install vCenter license-free, since it will take place for the 60-day trial. I free ESXI host cannot be managed by vCenter, if it will not mimic your production http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1018275 plant

• vCenter to migration issues of device 5.5 to 6.0

  Hi all

  My production environment consists of 2 devices U2e vCenter 5.5 (VCSA), one per physical location.  Due to limitations in the VCSA, there is no bound mode, and each unit has its own internal SSO configuration.  5.5, VMware was pushing its customers to use the VCSA and the embedded database.  Given that we were well within the camera and knew it was the future of vCenter, we migrated to it and put the ugly Windows vCenter with SQL behind us-based.

  VMware is said now that they want to vCenter and the PSC on separate VMs/devices.  Oh but wait, if you're on a 5.5 VCSA and want to upgrade, you can pass only to a 6.0 with a built-in PSC.  Once VMware still change my mind.

  In view of all this, what are my options?  Ideally, I would like to keep the vCenters separated on the device, but use a single instance of the CSP in a config HA, use linked modes, etc..  It will not be the end of the world if I have to keep the same way they are now things (completely not separated, no bound mode), but it seems that there should be an easier way.

  I've seen some articles on the creation of a new SSO and pointing to her devices, but those who carried out based on Windows Installer.  I found this article:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2113917

  But he said that I would do is not supported.  Any ideas?

  In response to me here.  I just received a response from our SE stating that vSphere than u1 6 should support the upgrade in place and selecting an external PSC.  He expects it to be released in Q3.

• 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.

• Retrieve the vcenter license key

  Hello

  It is possible to get vcenter license key using PowerCLI?

  
  

  Hello-

  You can simply add in a property calculated to have the current name of vCenter included with the corresponding license info, as:

  ## array of names of vCenters to which to connect$arrVCList = "myvc0.mydom.com","myvc1.mydom.com"
  
  &{foreach ($strVC in $arrVCList) {    ## connect to this vCenter name    $oThisVC = Connect-VIServer -Server $strVC    ## get this vC's license mgr    $viewLicMgr = Get-View $oThisVC.ExtensionData.Content.LicenseManager -Property Licenses    ## select some things    $viewLicMgr.Licenses | select @{n="vCenterName"; e={$oThisVC.Name}},*    Disconnect-VIserver $oThisVC -Confirm:$false | Out-Null}} | Export-Csv D:\Scripts\License\licenses.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

• vCenter license request

  Dear team,

  Karim plan to install the new vcenter server software I just want to know we have vcenter server 4 standard license, it will work wil on new server vcenter license 5... Help, please

  concerning

  Mr. VMware

  I mean, you cannot add an esx5 to a vcenter 4, unless you reinstall to v4. But if you upgrade your host to v5, you need to update your license in myvmware.com key.

  Kind regards

• Suggestion on Vcenter DB migration on the new virtual machine and enhancement vcenter server

  Hello

  I'm looking for any suggestion/plan with Vcenter DB migration steps towards the new virtual machine, and then upgrade the server vcenter

  4.1 for Update1/2

  My plan will be

  (1) creating new virtual machine.

  (2) fresh install 64-bit OS

  (3) migration Vcenter DB of the physical server to the new virtual machine.

  (4) upgrade to Vcenter Server 4.1 update 41 4.1 Update1/2

  Anything else missing then please let me know.

  Thank you

  vmguy

  Hi vmguy

  I agree with this approach

  (3) migration Vcenter DB of the physical server to the new virtual machine.

  As long as you leave the old DB in tact and simply detach and copy the DB to the new Victoria Cross.

  Before you run the upgrade on the new VC and DB.

  This way, you have a restoration plan in case something goes wrong with the upgrade.

  Just to add:

  You must migrate the ADAM database so to maintain the specified permissions vCenter

• VCenter license transfer between companies

  Hey, it's a strange question.

  My company acquired a business with a license and vcenter server. The computer specialist of the company reaching just to the left, without to release much information. Other contacts in the company have useless insofar as technical information. I wonder if anyone has ever transferred a vcenter license between companies only the information they needed to make a difference. They couldn't find the invoice for the order of origin either.

  The material is a stupid idea, otherwise I would wear just any server in the course.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you

  The best thing to do is to contact VMware directly:

• vSphere vCenter license problem

  Now, I apologize if this has been posted somewhere, but my search fu fails me and I can't seem to find an answer.

  We have a mixed environment at the moment. We have 4 ESXI 3.5 hosts running the "free ESX Server 3i for unlimited processor. We are also raising 4 new hosts vSphere 4. To control this, we have a copy of vCenter 4.0 running on a physical machine. We get down to the end of our assessment of vCenter and my boss finally got the license number to plug into the system. When I do, I get an error about the license not being not able to be changed to vCenter Standard and he needs access to a license server in order to manage hosts.

  Now, I read about how the license server should be part of the installation so I re-run. My options were to change the config of bound modes or uninstall. I also downloaded the license for ESX 3.5 Server [(license

  Server for 3.5): http://downloads.VMware.com/d/Details/esx_35_licenseserver_dt/dGViZGVoKmIqZA== ], but it asks me the CIL file which I have not since these are the free versions. So I'm back to being stuck.

  ESX 3i servers will eventually be migrated away. All machines will be moved to the new host (biggest machines, beefier) and hosts old or recycled, is transformed into a test environment. They are currently in the vCenter system but do not have to be. It would be nice to have just a one-stop look all VM in the environment, but we need the VMotion HA or something with it.

  So, how can I get this license so that we can start testing HA? If I need launch systems vCenter ESXi, I tried and got the same results. But I could have done something wrong suggestions are welcome at this stage. We are in a period of time to get the displaced systems so any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Peace

  You cannot manage ESXi free of vCenter Server 4.0

  So remove them from the vCenter Server.

• ISE license migration

  What should I do?

  1. If licenses exceeded what ise fuction can do?

  2. I intend to migrate to ise 2.1 (lisences wireless and wireless upgrate end of sale) what can we do?

  If you have 1.2 upgrade to any higher version then licenses gets upgrade automatically.

  Otherwise any costs re/install-image, need to install mobility and upgrade license.

  You must contact the licensing team, get your license has changed with mobility and the upgrade of mobility as upgrade Wireless / Wireless does not work on versions 1.3 and above.

  Mobility and mobility upgrade licenses cannot coexist on a node of Cisco Administration at Base of, Plus, or licenses of the Apex.
