8 OpenManage™ Integration for VMware vCenter Installation and Licensing
3 License Types
With version 2.0 there are two types of licenses. An evaluation license, and a standard license. These
licenses restrict functionality based on time, and the number of Dell 11
th
Generation or newer hosts.
3.1 Version 1.x license
The 1.0 version of the Dell OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter, formally named the Dell Plug-in
for VMware vCenter used a license file that is not compatable with the 2.0 version of the product. It will
continue to function only for the 1.0 version.
The 2.0 release of the integration requires a newer license file. This new license file is different than the
one you would have received when purchasing a 1.x version. 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

3.2 Version 2.0 Licenses
Version 2.0 of the Dell OpenManage integration for VMware vCenter uses a new license format. There are
two types of licenses that are usable in this version.
3.2.1 Evaluation License
When the Dell OpenManage integration for VMware vCenter version 2.x appliance is powered on for the
first time, an evaluation license is automatically installed. This evaluation license will allow the Dell
OpenManage Integration to operate and manage 5 ESXi 11

any functionality for the 90 day evaluation period from the first power on. Once a standard licnese is
uploaded, the evaluation license is no longer used.

based on the number of Dell 11

the duration of product support. The license includes product support and appliance updates for a
