11 OpenManage™ Integration for VMware vCenter Installation and Licensing

5.1 Replacement License for existing version 1.0 customers

At the launch of the 2.0 release in November 2013, new license files have been e-mailed to existing

customers using the email address on file. If you had purchased licenses prior to the 2.0 release and did

not receive your new license file, please send an email with your original order number and email address

to: download_software@dell.com.

The license file will arrive as a zip file attachment. Be sure to exract the license xml file from the zip file

and upload the xml file, not the zip file.

The new license file will have a start date of the original date of sold, and have an expiration of three years

from that date of purchase.

5.2 License file for new purchases

When purchasing a new license, an email will be sent from Dell containing the new license file. The

license should arrive in an xml format. If the license is in a zip format, extract the license xml file from the

zip file before uploading.

5.3 Stacking licenses

New in version 2.0 of the Dell OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter is the ability to stack multiple

standard licenses to increase the number of supported hosts to the sum of the hosts in the uploaded

licenses. An evaluation license cannot be stacked. The number of supported vCenters cannot be increased

by stacking, and would require the use of a multiple appliances.

There are some restrictions around the functionality of stacking licneses. If a new standard license is

upload before the existing standard license is expired, the licenses will stack. Otherwise, if the license is

expired and a new license is uploaded, only the number of hosts from the new license will be supported.

If there are already multiple licenses uploaded, the number of supported hosts will be the sum of the

hosts in the non-expired licenses at the time the last license was uploaded.

5.4 Expired Licenses

Licenses that are past their support duration, typically three or five years from date of purchase, are

blocked from being uploaded. If a licenses has expired after being uploaded, functionality for existing

hosts will continue, however upgrades to new versions of the Dell OpenManage Integration for VMware

vCenter are blocked.

5.5 Replacement of Licenses

Should there be a problem with your order and you receive a replacement license from Dell, the

replacement license will contain the same entitlement ID of the previous license. When uploading a

replacement licnese, if a license was already uploaded with the same entitlement ID it will be replaced.
