However, every standalone vCenter Server 5.5 system manages the licensing data only for the hosts, solutions, and vSAN clusters that are associated with that system.


The License Service in vSphere 6.0 and later manages the licensing data for all ESXi hosts, vSAN clusters, and solutions that are associated with the vCenter Server 6.0 and later systems in the vSphere environment. The “vInfo” tab displays for each virtual machine the virtual machine name, powerstate, template, SRM Placeholder, config status, DNS name, connection state, guest state, heartbeat, consolidation needed, power on date / time, suspend date / time, creation date / time, change version, number of cpu’s, latency-sensitivity, amount of memory, number of nics, number of virtual disks, total disk capacity, min Required EVC Mode Key, disk.EnableUUID, CBT, primary IP address, connected networks, number of monitors, video Ram KiB, resource pool, folder ID, folder name, vApp name, DAS protection, fault tolerance state, fault tolerance role, fault tolerance latency status, fault tolerance band width, fault tolerance secondary latency, provisioned storage, used storage, unshared storage, HA restart priority, HA isolation response, HA VM Monitoring, Cluster rule(s), Cluster rule name(s), install Boot Required, Boot delay, Boot retry delay, Boot retry enabled, Boot BIOS setup, Reboot Poweroff, EFI Secure boot, Firmware, HW version, HW upgrade status, HW upgrade policy, HW target, configuration path, log directory, snapshot directory, suspend directory, annotation, custom fields, datacenter name, cluster name, ESX host name, operating system name according to the config file, operating system name acoording to the VMware tools, virtual machine ID, VM SMBIOS UUID, VM UUID, VI SDK server type, VI SDK API version, virtual machine tags, VI SDK Server and VI SDK UUID.If your vSphere 6.0 or later environment consists of vCenter Server 6.0 or later, and 5.5 systems, consider the differences in the license management and reporting between vSphere 6.0 and later, and vSphere 5.5.
