You can license vRealize Log Insight individually or as part of vRealize Suite. If you have not added the vRealize Suite license to vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager as part of another solution, you can add the license to vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager Locker before deploying vRealize Log Insight. Alternatively, you can manually add the license during the deployment process.

  2. On the My services page, click Locker.
  3. In the navigation pane, click Licenses.

  4. To add the license manually, click Add license manually, enter the vRealize Suite or vRealize Log Insight license alias and key.

  5. Click Validate.

  6. After successful validation, click Add.
