Hi,

I have a question about the orchestrator

I have a Vmware Foundation license and I have need to install the orchestrator

What do I have to buy in order to install Orchestrator?

Is it plug in sold separately to the standard license for VMware server?

Many thanks in advance

Regards

Gianluca

Hi,

If I'm right, Orchestrator server is always installed with the vCenter Server.

If you have a standard license, you have access to full orchestrator (dev mode), but if you have Fondation/Essentials licenses, you can only start orchestrator in player mode. (This means, you can import packages and start workfows but you cannot edit them or create new one).

Regards

Cedric is right.

To your other question on plugins. As of now, all the plugins on vCO is included as a part of the product distribution - you don't have to pay for them seperately.

Hi,

I mean that I have a license Foundation, but what do I do to install a licenza Vmware Standar Edition?

Exists in the market to upgrade from version to version Standard Foundation to VMware Server?

Many thanks in advance
