If the license key is still assigned to some of my assets, then I can't remove it. If the license key is not assigned to anything, I can go ahead and remove it.
So I have these two licenses, so if I check this box next to license, I can potentially rename it or I could potentially remove it. Here's my vCenter license, and here's my vSphere Enterprise Plus license. So let's go back to licenses, and let's take a quick look at how we manage these licenses. These license keys are applicable to 6.7. I've got vSphere with Operations Management 6 Enterprise Plus and vCenter Server 6 Standard. Under products, I can see what I'm licensed for. So I can see which license keys are assigned to which asset here, under assets. Enterprise Plus has a whole bunch of features that vSphere standard does not have. And so that's where I get all my features from. That's the type of license key that is assigned. So here we go, we've got Enterprise Plus licensing edition enabled for these ESXi hosts. And then if I look at my hosts, here's where we're going to see, potentially, an Enterprise Plus license. I've got a vCenter Server 6 Standard license applied. And if I look at my other vCenter server, we should see something very similar. You can see right here I've got a vCenter Server 6 Standard license applied to this vCenter server. And I'll click on this first vCenter server here. So let's take a look at my vCenter servers. And I don't have any other VMware solutions that I need to license.
So before I take a look at these licenses, let's go to assets, and you can see here, I've got to a couple of vCenter servers. I just hit these two little arrows to move them out of the way to give myself a little bit more room to work with. My recent tasks or alarms are normally down here at the bottom. So you can see here, I've kind of minimized a few things.
I'm going to go to the administration area of the vSphere Client and under administration, we have licenses. This is the non-flash client, and some of you may be more familiar with the traditional vSphere Web Clients, so this is a good chance to get a feel for the new client. So I'm using one of those lab environments and I'm at the home screen of our HTML5 vSphere Client. So there's great labs here at and the best part about 'em is they're free.
And I'm utilizing one of the labs here for software defined data center. So here you can see I'm logged into the labs at. In this video, I'll demonstrate how to manage licenses inside of the vSphere client for a vSphere 6.7 environment.
