      <title>Exclude VMs from Operations Manager license</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;BR /&gt;I'm trying to exclude objects from being counted towards our licensing of vRealize Operations Manager 8.10 but it doesn't seem to work like I expected.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I created a custom group named: "LicGrp-Clusters-01". The group has three rules, two of which include Virtual Machines based on relationship descendant is &amp;lt;clustername&amp;gt; in hosts and clusters. And I have one criteria that includes virtual machines for which tag category is "vROPs-licentie" and tag is "Exclude-vROPs". When I check this group it contains 1105 objects, all virtual machines. All matching as I expected.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In Administration -&amp;gt; Licensing, I edit the "Product Licensing" group and scroll down to "Always Exclude" and then select the "LicGrp-Clusters-vcdvc015" group. I've waited over an hour, did some refreshes, but the number of objects in the unlicensed group doesn't go above 25 licenses and not the expected 1105 objects.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Been browsing through quite some posts and docs, but can't find a solution on this.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you for replying.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;The issue was that I should not have added the group to "always exclude" since that is a static membership. I now used the rules like "xxx" is member of "yyy" and that will get refreshed regularly.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
