Install a license

Install a Splunk App for VMware license

• This only applies when the Splunk App for VMware runs on Splunk Enterprise version 6.x.
• This license key enables you to use the Splunk App for VMware up to the volume specified within the key.
• When you violate the license, warnings appear in Splunk Web. Violating the license does not prevent you from using the app.

When you get your Splunk App for VMware license key, see "Install a license" in the Splunk Enterprise Admin Manual to install it.

Note: This license does not change the amount of data you can index in Splunk Enterprise.

Report App license volume

In a license master and license slave environment, install SA-VMW-Licensecheck and SA-Utils on a Splunk instance configured as a license master. SA-VMW-Licensecheck checks runs every night to report license usage for the Splunk App for VMware and reports on the indexing volume allowed for your license. You will get a violation warning if you exceed your allocated volume. You can view license usage using the App Data Volume dashboard.
