Sharing subscriptions with other organizations

As an organization owner, you can share the following purchased subscriptions with other organizations.
Starting April 26, 2024, Subscription Manager will no longer support sharing subscriptions with other organizations.
  • Verify that you are an organization owner and have purchased at least any VMware vRealize Cloud Universal, VMware Aria Universal Suite, and VMware Aria Operations for Network Universal (Core) subscriptions.
  • Verify that the secondary organization you want to share your subscription with does not share subscriptions with another primary organization and does not currently have any active VMware vRealize Cloud Universal, VMware Aria Universal Suite, or VMware Aria Operations for Network Universal (Core) subscriptions.
  • The secondary organization must have a valid VMware billing account. The billing account can be removed from the secondary organization after the subscriptions are shared.
Shared subscriptions are limited to VMware vRealize Cloud Universal, VMware Aria Universal Suite, and VMware Aria Operations for Network Universal (Core).
If Tanzu Transformers, Tanzu Guardrails, or Tanzu Insights subscriptions are active and not shared with the secondary organization, both the primary and secondary organizations will continue with the sharing process.
  • VMware vRealize Cloud Universal subscriptions
  • VMware Aria Universal Suite subscriptions
  • VMware Aria Operations for Networks Universal (Core) subscriptions
The organization in which the subscriptions are purchased is considered the primary organization while the organization with which the subscriptions are shared is considered the secondary organization. All onboarded above mentioned subscriptions in the primary organization are shared with the secondary organization. The secondary organization cannot onboard any new subscriptions while sharing subscriptions with the primary organization. If you are sharing subscriptions and have purchased a new subscription in the primary organization, this subscription is automatically shared with the secondary organization.
Periodically, the total consumption by the primary and secondary organizations is billed in the primary organization, based on your usage. Information about the subscription consumption of shared subscriptions is found on the
Aggregate
 tab of the
Cloud Universal
 page of the primary organization.
