The endpoints in vRealize Cloud Subscription Manager on AWS GovCloud (US) help you to collect license usage data for your on-premise vRealize Suite products, after you connect the license keys from the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager locker to your vRealize Cloud Subscription Manager on AWS GovCloud (US) service. For multi-organizations, you can now connect the same license in your primary organization or secondary organization. You can also upload the on-premise license usage data from your primary organization to your secondary organization.
