LIcensing question

[Admlshak3]

We recently upgraded our datacenter host licenses to Ent+ with ops manager.  We have a single vsphere standard instance.  I have our datacenter set up as a cluster, however recently my co-worker decided to add his offsite cluster (which are just running standard host licenses) and our remote site cluster (which are using branch office standard licenses) to my datacenter vsphere server.  So now Ops Manager is reporting all that stuff as well as our data center.  I'm thinking this isn't kosher as far as the licensing goes since we only have enough for our datacenter hosts.   And even if it is, I'm not to happy with the way that it's showing up in our ops manager.  Is there a way I can split that stuff off from our datacenter results using policies or something?  Apply one to different vsphere clusters?  Assuming (and secretly hoping) that I don't have to make my coworker go get his own vsphere server, to get in compliance.

You can work with license groups to exclude hosts from monitoring, see: https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2015/09/exclude-hosts-vrealize-operations-manager-license/

Or you could remove the permissions from the account you used to setup the adapter from the objects you dont want monitored

If the adapter cant access the objects it wont collect

Thanks, I tried both options and with the 4 licenses I assigned to the group that should be monitored, it's saying I'm not using any of them.  And even though I told it to not monitor those groups they are still having data collected.  I also set deny permissions for the account the plug in is using.  And still collecting info though.  So I just opened a ticket with them.  Hopefully vmware can help me with this or explain why a account with no permissions is getting data.
