Since each side of a VPLEX Metro is a cluster (Dual Engine VPLEX cluster at each side.), thinking that would be one per side in this instance. Thinking of it a bit like a DPS and or Avamar license. One will work, but 2 makes me compliant etc.
No, one license for VPLEX Metro. You can have it point to either side and it will collect all objects from both. In the event of a failure, you simply change the adapter instance to point to the other side. Were you to configure 2 instances with 2 different licenses you would simply be double-collecting the objects which is both unnecessary and may require you to have a larger vROps configuration.

A VPLEX Metro configuration requires a single license.

Thanks Drew, does that mean one license per side?
