The Locker application helps you to manage vRealize Cloud licenses for your vRealize Cloud Subscription and collect your daily data usage for the associated products and cloud services.

When you purchase vRealize Cloud Subscription, you receive access to vRealize Cloud Subscription Manager, which is a new complimentary utility service. With vRealize Cloud Subscription Manager, you can add endpoints and monitor the data usage for your vRealize Cloud Subscription services. You must create vRealize Cloud licenses at the locker level in vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager, and then connect these licenses to vRealize Cloud Subscription Manager to monitor your cloud data usage. For more information on vRealize Cloud Subscription Manager, refer to the vRealize Cloud Subscription Manager documentation.
