Once you complete the deployment and configuration of vCloud Usage Meter, you need to register it in VMware Commerce Portal to start metering your VMware products. The registration establishes a connection between vCloud Usage Meter and vCloud Usage Insight, which aggregates the collected usage data and sends it to the VMware Commerce Portal at the end of the reporting cycle.
There are two options to register your vCloud Usage Meter instance:
Note: The vCloud Usage Meter registration state is determined by checking its connection to vCloud Usage Insight. If there is a connection between them, the registration of the Usage Meter is successful.
If the connection of vCloud Usage Meter to vCloud Usage Insight is successful, click Finish. The registration is now complete, and you can start adding VMware products to the vCloud Usage Meter web application.
