vCenter License

[arjanhs]

When using an 100-pack Premier license i can use as many vSphere installation as needed and i can use a vCenter Server, but when i needed an additional vCenter installations, do i need additional licenses or are the included within the 100-pack?

Have a look at:

http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/VMware-View4-Pricing-Licensing-Support-FAQ.pdf

The View Enterprise 100 pack, View Premier 100 pack includes vCenter Server

Standard, which does not contain a host limit.

Found that one already, but the document doesn't tells me if i may install multiple vCenter installations with this 100-pack,only that i may install as many ESX hosts as needed.

AFAIK one vCenter is included per 100-pack. You could buy a seperate VC license ... or another 100-pack.

Why do you need another one?

So when buying an additional 100-pack i got an license for an other vCenter instance?

I will using the additional vCenter instance for redundancy on an other location.

When having two sites, both sites needs an vCenter server for DR, they get connected with Linked Mode, but the most important part is this licenses included?
