vRealize Operations Manager - Dynamic License Exclusion

Hi,

I have an "problem".

Because of various reasons i want to exclude some Datacenters and their underlying objects (Clusters, Hosts, Datastores, Networks & Virtual Machines) from the vROM licensing. I've made a (dynamic) 'Custom Group'to include all of these. If i add this as an 'Objects to exclude' under 'Edit License Group' it will not act as an dynamic group out of a licensing perspective as the objects become static in the 'License Group' exclusion. As we have objects that can move from an state where monitoring is not desired (stage & deployment, development & test, remote offices etc.) by the organisation to a state where it is desired this becomes a manual nightmare ... is there any way to accomplish this inside vROM or should i reside to scripting solutions to update the 'License Group' on fixed intervalls?

Yours,

Jonas

I solved it by setting 'No access' permissions for the objects it should not include in vROM.

This approach was taken because the objects was still visible inside vROM when they was unlicensed.
