Add more resources to DCE VM

DCIM_Support · ‎2020-07-05

Hi,

If i turn off my Virtual Machine with my licensed Data Center Expert APP and add more vCPUs, storage and RAM to it, do i lose my activated licenses and have to add them again?

Thank you.

Hi,

DCE license keys are tied to the Network Interface Card's MAC address. As long as you've not changed the card, MAC address, or re-deployed, the license keys should not be affected. Adding CPUs or RAM does nothing to the keys. If you're adding hard drive space, make sure you add an extra drive and no not increase the size of any existing drives. This will not have any affect on the license keys but will not actually increase storage as the VM has already allocated the space it will use on the drive(s) that exist.
