The decision whether the license server should run on a separate instance depends on the customer's requirements.
VMware-based VE License Server Overview
The following images provides an overview of sample VE license server topologies in a VMware environment.
There are two basic options:
- The license server binds to the ESXi host on which the license server host runs.
- The license server binds to the vCenter manager that manages the ESXi host on which the license server host VM runs.
VE License Server Binding with ESXi Host
The following image illustrates a topology where the VE license server binds to the ESXi host on which the VM with the license server runs. It shows one VM with license server and emulator software and another VM on the same ESXi host with the emulator software configured to use the license server via the network.
VE License Server Binding with vCenter Server
The following image illustrates a topology where the VE license server binds to the vCenter Server managing the ESXi host on which the VM with the license server runs. It shows one VM with license server and several other VMs using the license server across the network.
