Networker Licencing for Virtualization

Question

Hi We have got a Vmware ESX Cluster of 8 Hosts machines. When creating a Virtual Client in Networker, I must enter the physical machine host name. My problem is that the virtual machine may be moved from one physical host to another (Vmotion, DRS, HAS)so I can not really affect it to a specific host. Should I only declare my 8 hosts as Networker Clients, and no matter to which one I declare each virtual client? Or is this important that each virtual client does run on the physical host which was declared in virtual client configuration?

Hi,

Marking the ¿Virtual client¿ and specifying ¿Physical host¿ is just for licensing purposes.

If a virtual machine is licensed on one physical host and then moves to another physical host (Vmotion), as long as the new physical host has its own Virtual Client Connection license it works fine and does not need any configuration change.
