    2. When any product is imported into vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager, the license keys present in the product is also captured and stored in the Locker under Licenses. If the same license key is already present, then it cannot be imported.
    3. If any product is associated to a license in vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager then the license entry cannot be deleted from the locker.
    4. vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager does not restrict applying multiple licenses to any product, however, the product behavior does allow to set only one license key as active at anytime.
    5. License deletion from vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager locker does not remove the license key from the product itself.
  9. License keys can be applied to products managed by vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager from Home > Environments under Lifecycle Operations. Select a product from any Lifecycle Operations managed environment, click the horizontal ellipses on the product name and select Add License, and follow the steps.
