Delivering the VCE license
One VCE license is required for a VCE-installed ESXi host. After the VCE license is uploaded and
activated, the VCE license is delivered to the VCE-installed ESXi host.
Delivering the VFE licenses
One VFE license is required for each physical CPU on a VFE-installed ESXi host. For example, if you have
installed a VFE on an ESXi host with four physical CPUs, four VFE licenses are required for the ESXi host.
To deliver the VFE licenses to a VFE-installed ESXi host:
1. Log in to the VMware vSphere Client and click the HP VDS HP 5900v tab. For information about
identifying the HP VDS HP 5900v tab, see "Verifying the VMware plug-in installation."
2. In the VFE (Virtual Forwardi
ng Engine) area, click VFE Configuration.
