OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter licensing

The OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter has two types of licenses:

  • Evaluation license—when the OMIVV appliance is powered on for the first time, an evaluation license is automatically installed. The trial version contains an evaluation license for five hosts (servers) managed by the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter. This 90-day trial version is the default license that is supplied when shipped.
  • Standard license—you can purchase any number of host licenses that are managed by OMIVV. This license includes product support and OMIVV Appliance updates.

The OMIVV supports up to 15 vCenters. When you upgrade from an evaluation license to a full standard license, you receive an email about the order confirmation, and you can download the license file from the Dell Digital Locker. Save the license .XML file to your local system and upload the new license file using the Administration Console.

Licensing presents the following information:
  • Maximum vCenter Connection Licenses—up to 15 registered and in-use vCenter connections are enabled.
  • Maximum Host Connection Licenses—the number of host connections that were purchased.
  • In Use—the number of vCenter connection or host connection licenses in use. For host connection, this number represents the number of hosts (or servers) that have been inventoried.
  • Available—the number of vCenter connections or host connection licenses available for future use.
NOTE The standard license period is for three or five years only, and the additional licenses are appended to the existing license and not over written.
NOTE Any license purchased for the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter that is still current for its term (3 years or 5 years from purchase) is usable for the 5.x release. Backed up licensing from an existing OMIVV instance transfers over, or current licenses re-downloaded from the Digital Locker can be applied to 5.x instances.

When you purchase a license, the .XML file (license key) is available for download through the Dell Digital Locker at Dell Digital Locker. If you are unable to download your license keys, contact Dell Support by going to Order Support to locate the regional Dell Support phone number for your product.
