Hi Norberto Castillo,

It seems to me, that problems with current DCO licenses won't be, and you can practically check it.

And at the moment DCO software is setup and works at the physical server? And what physical server is for this purpose used?

If it is planned to use VMware virtualization, then already operating physical DCO server without its stop can be converted on the fly into VMware VM through VMware vCenter Converter: P2V Virtual Machine Converter. No special preparations for this purpose are required.

With best regards.

Hi Norberto,

It is currently supported to restore the backup file (from your current setup) on another/new server. The installed license keys would still be valid.

However, I would like to add the following notes:

Usually you would need the same amount of licenses for all modules, otherwise the setup would be limited to the lowest number (100 rack license keys in your setup).

I would also suggest using the latest version of DCO (currently 8.1) for your installation, to avoid potentially running into a 8.0 known disk space issue. Plus a potential memory leak issue that exists in previous versions.

Kind regards
