License
Management
When deploying management components,
VMware
Cloud Foundation
requires access
to valid license keys. You can add license keys to the SDDC
Manager
inventory so that they can be consumed at deployment time, but
they are not synchronized between SDDC
Manager
and the underlying components.In the deployment parameter workbook that you completed
before bring-up, you entered license keys for the following components:
- VMware vSphere
- VMwareVMware vSAN
- VMware NSX-T Data Center
- VMware vCenter Server
After bring-up, these license keys appear in the
Licensing screen of the
SDDC Manager
UI
. You must have adequate license units available before
you create a VI workload domain, add a host to a vSphere cluster, or add a vSphere
cluster to a workload domain. Add license keys as appropriate before you begin any of
these tasks.
