NSX licensing

[ManivelR]

I have a doubt on NSX licensing?

Is this instance based licensing or any others?

Thank you

These are the three license models.  When you say instance , i'm not sure what you are referring to ?

• NSX Standard Edition – For organizations needing agility and automation of the network.
• NSX Advanced Edition – For organizations needing Standard, plus a fundamentally more secure data center with micro-segmentation.
• NSX Enterprise Edition – For organizations needing Advanced, plus networking and security across multiple domains.

NSX capacity usage calculation method only reports for clusters prepared and enabled with DFW and VXLAN. CPU count is number of CPUs (sockets) of all prepared hosts. VM count and Concurrent Users is the count of all powered on VMs in the cluster. This VM count does not include system VMs (service VMs, partner VMs, edge appliances etc).NSX usage is reported correctly under the NSX Manager in NSX vSphere Webclient Plugin. Please note under license management in VC the NSX license will report Usage as ZERO
