Hello all,
This licensing is so confusing to me.
We are trying to upgrade to 7 Standard from Essentials plus. There are more features in standard that are not available in Essentials. (Storage vMotion, Resource Pools, etc.)
At the moment these are our licenses.
Licensing
For our vCenter
License
vCenter Server 7 Essentials Upgrade from V6
Product
vCenter Server 7 Essentials
Usage
1 Instances
License expiration
Never
Licensed features
vSphere Storage Appliance
For our Hosts (we have 2 hosts)
License
vSphere 7 Essentials Plus Upgrade from V6
Product
vSphere 7 Essentials Plus
Usage
2 CPUs (up to 32 cores)
License expiration
Never
Licensed features
Unlimited virtual SMP
H.264 for Remote Console Connections
vCenter agent for VMware host
vSphere API
Content Library
Storage APIs
vSphere vMotion
X-Switch vMotion
vSphere HA
vSphere Data Protection
vShield Endpoint
vSphere Replication
vShield Zones
So what product or products would we need to upgrade to 7 Standard? Our vendor is telling us we need to spend over 25,000 Euros which I find hard to believe if we are just upgrading and we have a valid license that still has support.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Joe
