View Licensing questions

[hodsonc]

Hello,

I've been through the documentation on the view for desktop licenses and I am unable to find a clear answer.

We have licenses for View Premier add on as well as vsphere 5 for desktop.

My question is, what license do you use for your esxi hosts assuming you have 4 in a cluster?

If you have a 250 desktop license, do you use the same license across 4 clustered esxi servers?

Thanks for any help.

The vSphere5 for desktop key(s) will get installed onto your vCenter Server.

The View Premiere key will be installed on your View Administrator (http://<ViewServer>/admin)

So if I have 1 key with 200 vms on it. Can I use the same key across 5 esxi hosts? Or do I need to break it up into 5 different keys with 20 hosts per key.

[Troy_Clavell]

if those same 5 ESX Hosts are being managed by the same vCenter than you can use that single key.

Thank you very much for the information.
