vSphere Replication - Guest OS and Applications licenses

  • 1.  vSphere Replication - Guest OS and Applications licenses

    Hi, we plan to deploy vSphere replication to get a replica of each VMDK ready in a Disaster Recovery site from the VM running in a main site.

    The DR will be activated only when the main site is shutdown.

    Do I need to purchase specific licenses for Guest OS (Win server 2019, RH,..) and all COTS applications running inside the VMs for the DR site ?

    It should not be, since the VMs will never run concurrently between the DR and main site ? Is that correct ?

    Thank you in advance for your help

    Best regards

    Eric
