Change the Product License Key
If the current license on a system expires, or if you want to access View features that are currently
unlicensed, you can use View Administrator to change the product license key.
You can add a license to View while View is running. You do not need to reboot the system, and access to
desktops and applications is not interrupted.
Prerequisites
For the successful operation of View and add-on features such as View Composer and remote applications,
obtain a valid product license key.
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Product Licensing and Usage.
The first and last five characters of the current license key are displayed in the Licensing panel.
2 Click Edit License.
3 Enter the license serial number and click OK.
The Product Licensing window shows the updated licensing information.
4 Verify the license expiration date.
5 Verify that the Desktop, Application Remoting, and View Composer licenses are enabled or disabled,
based on the edition of VMware Horizon 6 that your product license entitles you to use.
Not all features and capabilities of VMware Horizon 6 are available in all editions. For a comparison of
feature sets in each edition, see
http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/horizon-view/VMware-Horizon-View-Pricing-Licensing-
FAQ.pdf.
6 Verify that the licensing usage model matches the model that is used in your product license.
Usage is counted by the number of named users or concurrent users, depending on the edition and
usage agreement for your product license.
Monitoring Product License Usage
In View Administrator, you can monitor the active users who are concurrently connected to View. The
Product Licensing and Usage page displays the current and highest historical usage numbers. You can use
these numbers to keep track of your product license usage. You can also reset the historical usage data and
start over with the current data.
View provides two licensing usage models, one for named users and one for concurrent users. View counts
the named users and concurrent users in your environment, regardless of your product license edition or
usage model agreement.
