Managing licenses with vRealize Automation Center

Hello,

What are the capabilities for vRA to be able to manage both O.S. licenses and application licenses when deploying vm's in a  PaaS stack? Are they any integration strategies to consider such as IBM BigFIx? Thanks,

There are lot of ways you can assign a license to the machines built using vRA. But i don't see any way of managing licenses using it. Maybe you can make other products talk to vRO and get a count maintained and licenses applied through it but that's going to take some substantial amount of work.

Is there any software you maintain right now for this task? Or are you just curious as to how it happens or checking the possibility?

We are investigating the capabilities of IBM BigFix for a possible solution. Thanks for your reply.
