If you plan on deploying vSAN clusters in a vSphere environment converted to subscription, you can either continue to use vSAN license keys or purchase a VMware vSAN+™ subscription in addition to the vSphere+ subscription.
VMware vSphere+™ is a workload platform that allows you to shift from license based management to a pay-as-you-expand subscription model. Once you configure a vSphere cluster for vSphere with Tanzu and it becomes a Supervisor Cluster, you must assign the cluster a Tanzu edition license before the 60 day evaluation period expires.
Licensing for Clusters with vSAN EnabledĪfter you enable vSAN on a cluster, you must assign the cluster an appropriate vSAN license. VCenter Server systems are licensed with vCenter Server licenses that have per-instance capacity. Each vSphere license has a certain capacity that you can use to license multiple physical CPUs on ESXi hosts. You can also convert your on-premises vSphere infrastructure to subscription by purchasing vSphere+ and vSAN+ subscriptions.ĮSXi hosts are licensed with vSphere licenses. If you need to use the many features VMWare has to offer, then you would need to purchase a correct licence and enter that instead. To apply their licensing models correctly, you must understand how the associated assets consume the license capacity. When using this in a lab environment, you could use the stripped back version of VMWare ESX with unlimited usage using the serial number below (as detailed in the video): JV425-4H100-VZHH8-Q23NP-3A9PP. ESXi hosts, vCenter Server, vSAN clusters, and Supervisor Clusters are licensed differently.
