Note: Portable licensing Unit (PLU) allows usage of vRealize Suite to manage unlimited operating system instances (OSI) deployed on on-premise vSphere CPU or up to 15 OSIs deployed on the public cloud including VMware vCloud Air, vCloud Air Network Partners, other supported public clouds, as well as third-party hypervisors and physical servers.

Each vRealize Suite 7 PLU entitles to 1 CPU or 15 OSI of VMware vRealize Log Insight.

Due to new Packaging of the vRealize Suite 7 Product family all existing vRealize Suite 6 customers are being fulfilled with separate keys for existing functionality (i.e. vRealize Business Enterprise & vRealize Configuration Manager). For these components the prior licensing mechanism (Per CPU OR Per OSI) is being preserved.

Only vRealize Operations 6 show as available to upgrade to the new vRealize Suite 7 in Customer Connect. The remaining products of vRealize Suite 6 are removed from the portal after performing the upgrade to vRealize Suite 7. The new vRealize Suite 7 key enables all of the functionality in the individual components.

You must have access and upgrade permission for all components of the vRealize Suite 6 to perform the upgrade. For more Information about specific product upgrade scenarios, see Explaining messages received during the license key upgrade processes in the Customer Connect portal (2124880)
