I remember that under previous versions, you were able to purchase VMware View and get the hypervisor/vCenter free as part of the purchase of VMware View. Can someone confirm if I recall correctly on older versions, and if it is still true under View 5.1.1?
Also, I believe you were able to purchase vSphere Desktop using a per user fee (I thought it was blocks of 10) and obtain the hypervisor and vCenter even if you were going to use a different Desktop Virtualization Platform. Can anyone confirm if this is still available - and where I can get more info?
Thanks!
This document should give you what you need. The document says 5.0 but as far as I know it's applicable to 5.1 too.

Thanks, yes that is what I was looking for.
We have VMware View 4.6 and 5.1 licenses. We are using both. I don’t see any license for the vSphere Desktop and vCenter servers. I have licenses for vSphere 5.X and vCenter 5.X through other licensing we purchased, but I don’t see these. Do you know if I should have automatically received the license - or if it has to be requested?
Well, I feel a bit like an idiot. I have looked through our licensing several times and never saw it. I now see it in my list of licenses.
Thanks for your help!
