Adding an extended trial license

The process of adding an extended trial license is the same as adding a permanent license. Before you start this process, confirm that you have placed your license file in a location that you can reach easily.

To add an extended trial license:
1
2
Under the Licensing node in the Configuration Options dialog box, click Product.
3
Click Add New License.

The new license information is added to the dialog box.

The dialog box refreshes with the new license information added. Under the Currently Installed Licenses heading, you see “License Type: Extended Trial,” and the number of days remaining in your extended trial period.

To remove an extended trial license:
1
In the Configuration Options > Licensing node, click Remove Trial Extension.
2
Under Currently Installed Licenses, confirm that the primary license is being applied.
3
In the Virtual Machine Hosts and Physical Machines node, confirm your license allocation.

Managing VM host licensing

Configuring vRanger > Configuring vRanger manually > Managing VM host licensing

Managing VM host licensing

Before you start this process, make sure that you have imported the license file and confirmed that it is adequate for managing the hosts that you want to use. The Currently Installed Licenses section includes the total number of CPU licenses, the number being used currently, and the number of licenses remaining. These numbers increment and decrement based on the selections you make in this dialog box.

NOTE: The Virtual Machine Hosts license applies equally to both Hyper-V® and VMware® hosts. They are treated the same in terms of licensing.
To manage VM host licensing:
1
2
Under the Licensing node, click Virtual Machine Hosts.
3
In the Currently Installed Licenses section, view the CPUs Allowed value to confirm the number of sockets that are licensed for protection.

The number of licenses currently allocated is shown in the CPUs Used column.

The Licensed Virtual Machine Hosts section lists the managed hosts, the number of CPUs for each host, and the licensed features for that host. The CPUs column indicates the license “cost” of each host.

4
In the Backup or Replication column, or both, select or clear hosts until you have used all the available licenses, or until all your hosts are protected.

These numbers increment and decrement based on the selections you make in this dialog box.

To manage physical machine licensing:
1
