vMotion Licensing change 4.0 to 4.1

Currently I have 4.0U1 vCenter server and a cluster of hosts running on ESX 4.0U1 std. I am trying to understand my best script to upgrade to 4.1 and wondered where exactly this change in the license for vMotion takes place, either during the upgrade to vCenter, upgrades of the host or both.

Ideally I could upgrade vCenter 4.1 and then vMotion VM off the coast and hosts one by one, but I wasn't sure how the license change takes place to allow of vMotion. If someone could offer some advice on this I would appreciate it!

Thank you!

Interesting question.

According to a post on the German forum (about Essentials more), vMotion will be available after the update of the host.

  • How to control vmotion license to the ESX Server

    I have 5 servers ESX 3.5 U3 in my vCenter.  Two are using host license and three are in a cluster and using the server license assigned by my license server, that runs on vCenter.  However, my ESX servers two stand alone using the host license receive a license of vmotion by my license server and my ESX servers in my cluster but cannot get a license of vmotion because their attributed to the wrong ESX Server.

    How can I get the vmotion license released by the ESX servers who don't need and make it available on my ESX Server who need?  My three ESX servers in cluster shared storage for vmotion and don't have my two stand alone ESX servers.

    I tried simple things, like the disconnection of servers and ESX servers in reconnection vCenter, re-reading of license files, restart the license server, etc..  license and vCenter server is 2.5 U4.

    Thanks in advance.  Jim

    go to the configuration tab and click Networking, you have a Port VMkernel configuration?  If so, edit click the vSwitch properties, change your VMkernel port settings and uncheck the box that says VMotion: enabled.

  • Gen license changes

    Received a notice that could change License Gen

    The following changes will be made to the HTTP POST parameters:

    ·         The device PIN is sent in format HEX, rather than decimal places

    ·         Versions will be sent in the same format displayed on the application (1.0.0.0), instead of the previously sent decimal representation

    can't say for sure but seems that this change is not reflected in the test presentation AppWorld. Can anyone confirm that the change has gone through?

    Hatt,

    Yes, the change went through.  The change has no impact the memory test because the presentation test worked how the actual process should have worked throughout.  Now, they are synchronized.

  • License: License change? Watermark

    I want pictures of Stock to print and sell postcards. I found some great images in AdobeStock. I understand that I need extended license to print and selling, I have these questions:

    Am I allowed to change the colors of the images acquired with extended license? I mean, I would like to print some of them to grayscale.

    Am I allowed to put watermark in the image? For example the code ISO 3166 of the country where the picture was taken?

  • VCenter eval Operations Management Suite License change

    I'm trying the product eval, which is great BTW, but I want to know if it is away from changing the license for the eval for anything other than "the company."  I'm assuming that the eval is the full licensed version, but realistically we will buy something less.  Is there a way to change the eval to reflect the 'Foundation', 'Standard' or 'Advanced '?  I would like to see the product with the limited functionality because it is difficult to determine what are the options in which version.  Thank you.

    Hello dla123,

    Just to make sure we're all on the same page, be aware that product edition names change in version 5.6... When 5.6 released, I'll try and remember to update this message/thread with the mapping between these product editions.

    I write this, because you're talking about the Foundation, which is NOT available for 5.0.  The Foundation provides access to the Victoria Cross analytical performance Ops only, no capacity planning.  As far as I know, no license is required, but you will need to run vSphere 5.1.  Just install the VAPP, register with vCenter and you'll be good to go.

    Standard/advanced/enterprise suites include all the features of the vC to vSphere UI Ops - there is no difference.  The main difference for vC Ops Advanced/Enterprise is that you will have access to the custom user interface that offers the possibility to build dashboards that incorporate third-party adapters as well as some cards of products VMware (like Hyperic and vCD).  Standard does not provide this functionality.

    So, the short answer... to see the differences in the features of the product that you need to wait up to 5.6 is GA so you can watch Foundation (no permit required).  Otherwise, all versions of 5.6 have the same functionality in the user interface of vSphere.

  • vMotion licenses

    Hello

    I have:

    -vCenter 4.1.0 (licensed as vCenter Server Foundation)

    -An ESX 4.0 U2 server and ESX 4.1 server.

    My license for servers is vSphere 4 Standard license for 6 processors. The ESX 4.1 have 2 CPUs and the ESX 4.0 U2 have 4 processors.

    When I activate this license can I use vMotion ESX 4.1 and I can't use vMotion in ESX 4.0, but I can use it with the evaluation license. Why is this happening? The Standard license for vSphere allows various characteristics 4.1 and 4.0? What type of permit do I need? (I can't update 4.1 because this server is not compatible)

    > When I activate this license can I use vMotion ESX 4.1 and I can't use vMotion in ESX 4.0, but I can use it with the evaluation license. Why is this happening?

    Because evaluation is Enterprise Plus 60 days. vMotion was the standard for 4.1.

    > The vSphere Standard license allows you to integrate different features in 4.1 and 4.0?

    Yes.

  • vMotion license not no projection in Essentials

    Hi all...

    Ive been running two ESXi4 host under a free license until I bought Essentials and added to vCenter. I allocated licenses to them, but I can not enable vMotion VMKernel properties. When I check the box, I get an error saying I need to update the license.

    When I check the licenses on the host computer, I see the following:

    Product: vSphere 4 Essentials Plus allowed for 2 physical processors (1-6 cores per processor)

    License key: x-x-x-x

    Expires: never

    Product features:

    Up to 256 GB of memory

    Up to 4-way virtual SMP

    for ESX Server vCenter agent

    vStorage API

    VMsafe

    dvFilter

    VMware HA

    Data recovery

    It seems to take the license, so how can it be approved to HA but not vMotion?

    Thank you!

    You run vCenter 4.1 and are the host ESX (i) 4.1?

    VMotion is available in v4.1

  • Permanent license SSL_VPN

    Hello

    We bought a SSL_VPN license to use on a 1921.
    The installation went as usual, but the active license is always the evaluation license.

    Is there a way to activate the permanent license? I already rebooted the device.
    I am familiar with the command 'license c1900 technology-Starter package', but I don't think that this applies to licensed SSL_VPN.

    Here is a part of the output "retail license sh:
    Index: 1 device: SSL_VPN Version: 1.0
    License type: EvalRightToUse
    The license status: Active, in use
    The total period of assessment: 8 weeks 4 days
    Assessment left period: 6 weeks 2 days
    Used period: 2 weeks 1 day
    Transition date: 30 November 2014 12:11:05
    Number of licenses: 75/0 (in-use/Violation)
    License priority: high
    Store the Index: 2
    Store name: built-in license storage
    Index: 2 function: SSL_VPN Version: 1.0
    License type: Permanent
    The license status: inactive
    Number of licenses: 25/0/0 (active/in-use/Violation)
    License priority: medium
    Store the Index: 2
    Store name: primary storage license

    Kind regards
    Roel

    To activate the permanent license at the expiration of the evaluation license.

    If you really want to change the priority before then, you can use "license change low priority SSL_VPN" at the command prompt preferred to reduce the priority of low evaluation license, making it the active permanent license.

  • Update license key OEM for vmware fusion

    I'm moving from a windows7 (64-bit Home Premium) to a Mac Book. I want to import my old PC as a virtual machine using VMware fusion.

    I am trying to determine what is necessary from the point of view license.

    The original license is OEM so I think that it may have an update - is just a case of getting a new license key?

    I tried the update by using the update at any time of mechanism, but this no longer works
