VMM Demo Keys assigned wrong

Gerald LaVallee — Thu, 21 Dec 2006 07:57:00 GMT

I have assigned all my keys to VMServer Hosts and cannot demo a V2V or V2P from a MS VS Host; this is what I need to do before we buy real licenses; can someone help me move at least 1 key to facilitate this demo?

Possibly answered in the other query.
The VMM Licenses are used for licensing the VM Host servers, the Server Migration Pack licenses are used for the P2V, V2V and V2P migrations themselves.

Yes that is correct and understood...but you need to have the Host(s)running the VMM agent, assigned a key (licensed) and registered before you can migrate a VM between Virtual layers.

So, I cannot successfully demo this migration without buying a real license or getting one of my erroneous assigned demo licenses transferred.

Alas, no as with a number of the HPSIM server licenses they are one only deployments.

You could contact your local HP folk they may be able to provide an additional demo license.

Another option may be to wait for HPSIM 5.1, deploy it to a new Server and apply the demo keys as required from there. I believe it's due mid-Jan ish...!
