License only specific VMs?

Hi

Is it possible to only get a license for specific VMs? We have about 1500 VMs running, but not all of them are worth the extra cost of a vCOPs license.

Hi,

AFAIK there is no option to bind a license to specific VMs. But what you could do with VRealize Operations is that you give the collection user read access to only those VM´s you want to monitor. Please check out that KB:
