Can I use vCenter license twice for TestBed Infrastructure

[Khatrima]

Hi,

I have two separate environments in my company, Production and Testbed. I have licensed ESXi hosts and vCenter Server in production and also licensed ESXi in testbed infrastructure. I have no license for vCenter in Testbed.

The question is, does vmware allows to use a vCenter license in Testbed infrastructure, this vCenter license is already in use in production infrastructure. If yes, please provide the link for the license usage policy by vCenter.

Thank you

vCenter Server is licensed "per Instance", and as far as I know there's no exceptionto this. So if you want to run a second instance you can either run it for 60-days in evaluation mode, or by purchasing another license.
