• vSphere Standard license 5.0

  Hello

  We run vSphere 5.0 with a standard license - to activate Storage vMotion which accompanies 5.1 do I have to upgrade the environment 5.1 or can I just ask a license from 5.1 to my environment?

  Thank you very much!!

  Hello

  You must install the environment (vCenter Server + ESXi hosts) software version 5.1. The license key will remain the same for all 5.X versions.

• Max vm on vSphere Standard license

  Hi @ all,

  How vm´s can work on vSphere Standard Edition. Someone told me that I can run only 4 virtual machines with this license.

  Now I ve 5 vm´s running on my ESX Server Standard edition and how it works. do I have a problem of license with more than 4 vm´s on vSphere Standard?

  Is this true?

  I guess the 4 limited VM was linked with Microsoft licensing. With a Windows Server 2003 R2 (or higher) Enterprise license, you can run up to 4 virtual Windows Server instances on a single host.

• Essentials for vSphere Standard - correct license?

  We are running 3 x machines hosts vsphere 4.1 essentials connected to a server vCenter (not the essentials vcenter server) running standard. We know that if we improve these host machines we cannot be handled by our server vCenter (v5.5) due to a change of license and it is like not possible.

  
  After the execution of these 3 guests with Essentials, we now seek to introduce environmental vmotion and storage vmotion. Can you confirm for me that we just need to buy the right amount of vSphere Standard licenses?

  It doesn't seem to be an upgrade from Essentials to vSphere standard. Team VMware licenses have already recommended to talk to our partners and after that they recommend to purchase:

  VMware vSphere with operations management [Corporate - upgrading: VMware vSphere 5 Essentials to vSphere Operations Manag Std Acceleration Kit of 6 processors]

  It is also much more expensive and much more than necessary.  I believe that it is unnecessary to go this route because it is much more expensive than buying the vSphere licensing standards.

  Can anyone confirm that we just need to buy the right amount of vSphere Standard licenses in order to manage them with vCenter Server Standard to enable vmotion between these hosts?

  I understand that acceleration kits are grouped to be more profitable, but because you already have a license of vcenter standard you are right, you will need the correct number of vSphere ESXi licenses which is sold per CPU - so if your three hosts are dual cpu you will need 6 licenses

• vSphere Enterprise license with vCenter 5 Standard edition 5

  Guys quick question

  can I add a vSphere Enterprise 5 (or more) allowed a couple of new hosts (especially need FT and DRS) in conjunction with vSphere standard licenses already in service (and you want to keep) under a vCenter Standard edition 5?

  Thank you

  I don't see a problem with running differently licensed hosts on one instance of vCenter server. Due to different features, you will need to place them in separate well groups. With respect to the vRAM, I understand how it vRAM is pooled by license type, then you will end up with two swimming pools.

• Upgrade license on ESXi host for a Standard license for vSphere

  On an ESXi host using the free version, I understand that to have it managed by our current Server vCenter (which is licensed to vCenter Server Standard 4) we must update the license on the ESXi host for a vSphere Standard license. First is correct in what I think? I know there is another option using the vSphere Essentials, but this only covers 3 hosts of what I read and we have 4 hosts ESXi we want to manage, and also we would prefer to have all managed under the vCenter server if possible.

  Second, if it's true, it's as simple as putting in the new license key on the ESXi host, and then I will be able to manage through our current server vCenter (who also manage our ESX host)? Or it would be a full erase + install different version of ESX on each host?

  Thank you

  you are perfectly right and it's as simple as that. Just enter the new key on the host computer through the vSphere client and add it to vcenter.

  The standard license is the one you want.

  Best regards

• Better route to abandon more Essentials to vSphere Standard?

  I currently have three licenses for the kit of Essentials more than 5.5 vSphere

  To add storage vMotion, I'll have to move to vSphere Standard.

  I understand that the vCenter Server of the essential kit differs from vCenter Server Standard, so in order to pass all my existing to vSphere Standard environment, I'll have to buy vCenter Server Standard and 18 processors for vSphere Standard licenses.

  Is there a way to upgrade for the transition to vCenter Server Standard or are customers essentially forced to start from scratch?

  If there is a way to upgrade, price different from zero?

  There was a post in early February on the displacement of most of the standard, but in this particular case, the organization already had vCenter Server Standard, so all that was needed was the CPU licenses.

  > The essential kit more allows you to use vMotion, but not Storage vMotion, so I can move my vm between hosts to you, but cannot move them between data warehouses.

  Yes and no. The Essentials most Kit includes no storage vMotion, but you can use "Change of host and data store" live migrate VM to other data warehouses. This is possible since vSphere 5.1 (see vMotion bug corrected in vCenter server 5.1.0a)

• Uppgrade free vSphere to vSphere Standard

  Hello

  So uppgrade vSphere vSphere license open source to vSphere standard, do I need to enter the new license key only or there is not another?

  Any KB for this positve step?

  Simply enter the license key to unlock new features. There is no need to re - install the ESXi host or install anything else.

  But be aware that as a sine qua non to use many features you must have a vCenter Server.

Please advice what needs to be done before I can use the vMoition function in ESXi 5.0 with the standard license.

• Vsphere Standard installation 5

  Hi all

  First time install ESX 5, had a few questions.

  We bought a standard license for Vsphere 5, with a single processor. A second host is bought at a date of ter for redundancy.

  The host and the VM is to place the server in the DMz - will be a G7 BL460c Blade Server with a blade of SAS storage.

  Issues related to the:

  • I am ok to accept all the default values for the installtion? I myself remember in previous custom versions of Partition sizes have been recommended)
  • What is the ESXi I need to install? the installation will run discs in reverse BL460.
  • Should I VLAN for the management of the DMZ NIC nic? or it will not make a difference?
  • How VM is recommended to be hosted on a single ESX host with a single processor and 32 GB of memory? that works best or is memory-cpu my limatation?

  If there is anything else that you feel I need to know before you make the installtion on Wednesday, please do not hesitate to comment.

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes the key will still work

  It is recommended to install the Important and critical fixes

  Normally it is all managed by MUV (VMware Update Manager),

  If you have just vCenter install VUM and do it there

  This looks like a single host with no vCenter deployment, so you can manually download patches here .

  Just look for ESXi 5 all Cat and Important.

  You can install the esxcli patches using vmroyaleguide. Click Guide

• Can I use pictures (with a standard license) in a tutorial on an app?

  We have uploaded a few photos that we will use in the background on a tutorial to describe the feature on a new application that will set free us. Is this OK with the standard license?

  Hi Anders,

  You can use the standard licenses as long as the content is not for sale or commercial use.

  Reference: Stock Licensing & conditions FAQ: where can I find the terms and the license information for Adobe Stock?

  Hope that helps!
