Entitlement Path Overview • Customers with valid subscription contracts receive vSphere 4 licenses for every VI3 license • Each VI3 license edition maps directly to a vSphere 4 license edition (as depicted in the following slides) • Licenses are fulfilled directly into the customer’s license portal on vmware.com and a notification email is sent • Each VI3 2 CPU license maps to 2 x 1 CPU vSphere licenses • Enterprise License Agreements (ELAs) are fulfilled in the same manner • Customers with expired subscription contracts will not receive new vSphere 4 licenses: • If a customer does not renew support prior to the licenses expiring, they will be subject to a 20% reinstatement fee. To reinstate maintenance support and subscription for a license, maintenance must be back dated to the original date of expiration, renewed for a 12 month period from the current date and a 20% reinstatement fee added. • Policy: https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/support/support_terms_conditions.pdf • Quote form: http://www.vmware.com/support/form/contract_renewal.html

Acceleration Kit Upgrades • Objective: Drive existing Acceleration Kit customers up to a higher-end vSphere bundles. • Promo pricing logic built on 50% off a la carte promos good through 12/15/09 Note: Acceleration kits upgrades will also be available via OEM’s

Simplified License Management in vSphere 4 • Flex licensing is replaced by simple license keys • Each vSphere host is assigned only 1 single license key for the entire “bundle” (e.g., Enterprise) rather than a separate license for each feature • Same license key can be shared by many vSphere hosts, subject to the key’s maximum CPU count • New centralized license key administration in vCenter • No separate license server to manage or monitor – license administration is a native vCenter feature • vCenter can be used to assignlicense keys to vSphere hostsvia a simple UI • Centralized vCenter report onall hosts and license keys ininventory enables easymonitoring of license state andcompliance • New license portal provides more accurate view of entitlement • License keys linked to purchase history, including upgrades and license recombinations (i.e., division/combination of license quantities into more/fewer keys) • Contract administration self-service allows addition and removal of license admins and support admins with access to specific licenses

Improved Activation Process VI3 License Activation Is Failure-prone Too many steps and “context changes” Customers have many opportunities to get confused or take “wrong turns” License files are the result of a long, multi-step portal transaction Complexity illustrated: 40 pages in VI3 admin/install guide devoted to licensing A Dramatically Simpler Process In vSphere 4.0 A short and easy activation process was the single most important design requirement License keys are sent in email and can be copied directly into the product – no portal activation step required No separate license server means no additional installation, configuration or monitoring is required • Go to license portal • Choose server or host-based file • Download or email license file • Configure licensing in VC/ESX UI • Upload license file 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 • Receive activation code in email • Generate new license file • Select license qualities to activate • Install license server if needed • Re-read license file to server • Product activated • Receive license keys in email • Enter license key into VC UI • Assign license key to ESX hosts • Product activated 0 1 2 3

Potential Transition Issues • Licenses are not backwards or forwards compatible! • How does a customer upgrade from VI3 to vSphere 4.0? • All VI3 customers with active SnS will automatically get vSphere 4.0 licenses at GA • VI3 licenses are not “traded in” or deactivated – customers will retain licenses for both versions, but must not deploy licenses in excess of their entitlement • New vSphere 4.0 licenses are automatically added to customers’ online accounts, i.e. to their license portal • Email notifications will go out, but will not contain any license keys or activation codes (as in VI3 fulfillment) • Important: Automatic fulfillment of vSphere 4.0 licenses assumes that existing order and contract data is correct. If account data needs to be modified, it is better to do so prior to vSphere 4.0 GA. Customer can do this using self-service tools on the account portal. • Previously purchased “a la carte” features (e.g., Vmotion) will be fulfilled as “fixed” add-ons in the vSphere 4.0 model (e.g., Standard+Vmotion) • How can a customer continue to obtain new VI3 licenses after vSphere 4.0 GA? • After vSphere 4.0 GA, only vSphere 4.0 SKUs will be on the price list • Customers who purchase vSphere 4.0 but wish to deploy VI3 can “downgrade” license keys on the license portal • Downgrade will add additional VI3 license quantities to the customer’s VI3 portal - as in the upgrade case, they will have access to both versions simultaneously and must manage compliance accordingly • Licenses can only be upgraded or downgraded once
