Product licensing

Product licensing

Foglight includes a licensing capability that restricts access to those features that are defined in the license. Any Management Server installation requires a license that grants access to server-specific parts of the browser interface and the features associated with them.

Foglight Hybrid Cloud Manager is covered by Foglight Evolve Cloud license.
