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 cartridges are also license-protected. While some cartridges are covered by the base Foglight license (such as Foglight Agent Manager cartridges and the Cartridge for Infrastructure), others may require an additional license.
Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition and Foglight for Storage Management are licensed separately. Note the following:
Installing the Foglight for Storage Management package installs its trial license which is valid for 30 days.
Installing the Foglight for Virtualization EE package installs its trial license which is valid for 30 days.
No matter which package you download and install, when the licenses for both products are activated, the features and functionality of the final installed solution are identical.
