vROps version compabitility

[TheVMinator]

I'm running ESXi / vCenter 5.5.  Can I install the latest vROps version and will it be fully compatible?  Will the licensing on my existing 5.5 environment cover the latest vROps version?

What ever licences you are using they will need to be upgraded in the vmware portal. eg the 5.8 vrops licences will not work with 6.x vrops and the 5.5 vcloud suit licence will not work with 6.x vrops

6.x vrops will run and fully supported with vsphere 5.5

I would say It depends on the environment you have. Some management packs don't support vSphere 5.5 and hence you would not be able to use some of the vROps features with vSphere 5.5 environment. It would be great if you can upgrade to at least vSphere 6.0 u2.

Hope this is helpful. Thank you.
