vSphere licenses - what licenses I need

Similar Questions

• What version of vSphere/license is for me?

  We have a physical server with 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2640 (eachwith 6 x 2.50 GHz) CPU & 96 GB of RAM. We would like the server to run ESXi 5 and hosting 4 virtual machines.

  I think that 'free' ESXi V5 allows us only to affect up to 32 GB of RAM (for all virtual machines?). Therefore, looks like we need to buy 'VMware vSphere Essentials Kit' - but I think it does that of 3 guests, max 2 processors/host & 192 GB of VRAM.

  We have 4 guests - is possible to buy 2 kits of "VMware vSphere Essentials" for the same physical server? If not, what version/vSphere license do we buy?

  Thanks for your advice.

  Can you please clarify what you need? 4 VM 4 ESXi hosts (or both)?

  If it's only 4 VM on the host, then you are right, you must e.g. vSphere Essentials and must also deploy a vCenter Server/Appliance, because the right to vRAM (6 x 32GB) is pooled by vCenter Server.

• vSphere Licensing

  I am a student doing a project where I need to develop a virtual infrastructure. I chose VMware since I am more familiar with their products.

  The project includes two sites and a total of 15 people. In the beginning, I chose the vSphere Essentials Plus kit. I have 2 servers on the main site and 1 to the other site. I was going to buy an additional vCenter of license and 2 licenses SRM server. Basically, with the configuration of the infrastructure with the ability to replication on the other site and raise all reviews virtual machines on the server in the other site as a form of DR. The more research I do, the more I see how it is not extensible in the future. I also wonder if it is still possible given the licensing restrictions.

  I did research on vSphere standard edition because I believe that it is probably a better option. I have a few questions about how the licenses work as this edition has more factors involved.

  From my research, this is what I have gathered.

  vSphere Standard edition with basic support is $1715.72 - is that physical price by UC?

  I would also like, more than one instance of vCenter (1 for each site). Do I need to purchase a license additional vCenter, or y at - it a pack containing 2 licenses?

  In addition, in order to have the capacity to DR, would need RS. Do I need 2 licenses of MRS?

  Is anyway to get the price for all this? I was not able to find the price of the additional licenses.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Hi Welcome to the communities,

  you need a single vSphere Standard/ORL/Ent + per socket/physical CPU license, Yes.

  About MRS. you should take a look at vSphere replication. It is included in all standard vSphere licenses and of better quality. Perhaps it meets your needs, as a SRM license for up to 75 VMs would cost about $7000, I think.

  As you said you are a student, you're doing this project for a University? You may get lower prices then.

  I would contact the commercial service of VMware for the best info:

• Can not get the eval of vsphere license key

  People,

  Successfully, I registered for an assessment of vSphere with operations management and got my license key "VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite 5.7. When I try to apply this key to my vCenter Server I get the error "license error: 5" "Diagnostic message: not found license file ' (see image). I get this error even when you try to apply this key to my 5.1 ESXi server.

  (Moderator note: capture with screen a.p. deleted license key!)

  I KNOW the license key is not for vsphere, but rather for Operations Manager, but How can I get a trial for vSphere license key? Is it possible to apply the license key that I got to vCenter or should I install the vCenter operations Management unit and apply this license key for this server? The procedure to apply my evaluation license key is NOT FACT CLEAR in all the documentation I've found so far on the assessment of vSphere.

  Could someone PLEASE provide a definitive statement on how to use my provided evaluation license key (see picture) and how to obtain and to correctly apply an evaluation of my vCenter Server license?

  

  I would be very grateful for any help.

  
  Thank you.

  Some products require a key for evaluation and others do not. vCenter Server and ESXi running in eval without key mode, but vCOPS requires a key.

  You can use the license on any installation that you like, as long as ensure you that each license is used only once. What you need to do to be completely compatible with the EULA - if you want to use the license with your current configuration - is to install the production environment without adding licenses (i.e. run in eval mode), then migrates virtual machines, withdraw the licenses of pre-production systems and add them to the production system. It is not necessary to republish the keys or something like that, the keys remain the same.

• vSphere Licensing Model

  Hello

  Can anyone help me please with the vSphere licensing model. For instanace if I buy 1 vSphere Enterprise Plus license then how many ESX servers can fit into this license. And let's say I have 4 ESX servers with 2 CPU (6 cores) each how vSphere then Enterprise license more what I need to buy?

  In addition, vSphere Enterprise license more contain the vCenter license as well?

  Any link, the document about the license will be really helpful

  Thank you

  Mohammed

  > For instanace if I buy 1 vSphere Enterprise Plus license then how many ESX servers can fit into this license

  1 ESX with 1 CPU (multicore).

  > And I have 4 ESX servers with 2 CPU (6 cores) each how vSphere then Enterprise license more what I need to buy?

  ESX 4 * 2 CPUs = 8 licenses.

  > Also, vSphere Enterprise license more does not contain the vCenter license as well?

  VCenter should be purchased separately but a vCenter is enough. You don't have to buy an another vCenter if you want to buy a few new ESX licenses.

• Change the 'label' on an active vSphere license?

  All,

  I have a lot of "combined" vSphere licenses groups in vCenter 4.1, I would change the descriptive label on some of the or the vSphere currently loaded in vCenter licenses.

  Cannot do through the UI, I have looked on the tables of database VPX_LIC_ * but don't see anything with the information on the label.  I could go through the center of the license and get the keys to the 'News', but I have to go through several cycles to combine/split to obtain the appropriate keys, too much work.

  Anyone know where this information is stored?  I expect it to be in the same table as VPX_LIC_LICENSES (which is where the license keys are) but no dice.

  Ben

  The label can be changed by going to the page of vSphere vSphere Client licenses, view by product, then developing the object to see its keys.

  Since the key line, click on the label and press F2 to edit the entry (or you can double click on it).

  I've edited all my labels to better describe what they manage (such as Group A, Group B, etc.).

  I was able to do this since vCenter 4.0, tested on 4.1 and it still works fine.

• vSphere license and ESX 3.5 servers battery

  Guys,

  I have a client who is not ready to upgrade to vSphere but must add another server to the farm of ESX 3.5. We told by VMware that they must purchase a license vSphere and then downgrade to 3.5. Then add the server to the farm.

  Does anyone do this? Exactly how would that work? What is the best/better way to do it?

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Yes, they can spend to return vSphere licenses. As we have already mentioned, technically, you can continue to use these two licenses, doubling the number of servers, but it is against the license agreement. You can use vSphere license or license of 3.5, but not both at the same time.

• License 3.5 hosts with Vsphere licenses

  Until vSphere has passed the etc test, and we know its compatible with all of our infrastructure, we cannot upgrade in the production environment. At the same time the production environment need to grow - new hosts added etc. If I understand correctly, it is now only possible to buy vSphere licenses. These licenses are compatible with the infrastructure 3.5 and can they be used until we update. Can licenses be temporarily downgraded?

  Yes, you can downgrde licenses vSphere -'s done it on the Licensing Portal and when you're ready return you vSphere licenses licenses.

• vSphere Licensing 5.1: rights of vCPU

  Hi all

  I wonder about the rights of vCPU by vSphere edition.

  In the standard edition, the right of vCPU is 8.

  Does this means:

  (1) VM can have max of 8 socket with 1 core per socket

  (2) VM can have max of 8 shooting BUT the number of per-socket basis may be more

  I m having some VM that requires up to 16 cores, can the standard adjustment of vSphere license or do I go for a business one?

  Please specify this.

  Kind regards

  Valentine's day

  The number of vCPU refers to the total number of Sockets/virtual cores. With a payment of vCPU-8, you may have either 8x1core, 2x4core...

• 5 vsphere license keys will work on vCenter 4.1?

  My attempts to record the vSphere license keys 5 on vCenter 4.1 failed with the message "License not found error 5 license file.

  Anyone have any idea if this is due to the difference in versions (ie the vsphere licenses 5 on vcenter 4.1)? or is it perhaps something else?

  No, the keys do not work.

  You must connect to Vmware and manage your license, do a downgrade. (you can do an upgrade later)

  You cannot use both licenses at the same time.

• Duda sober vSphere license

  Hola a todos. Me surge siguiente duda respecto al vSphere license.

  As ocurriría if I have 3 servidores fisicos, con 2 processors fisicos cada uno y compro license vsphere para 3 processors (uno por servidor)? Seria funcional pero solo podrá uno los fisicos servidor cada processors use? No funcionaria?...

  Gracias,.

  No difference of verias, seguirias con las very UC licenciadas, por una ESX host. El reparto of licenses is one in el momento del license con las del CPU host biomass, TR luego mallards procesadores, el will con mas Subj. License 1 CPU hasta licenses thus nuevas para las nuevas CPUs. As Digamos no will can engañar.
