Regarding RP4VM License
Good morning,
I'm building a RP4VM system with two vRPA clusters(CRR configuration), each site has one vCenter, the vCenter in Site 1 is vCenter-1, and the vCenter in Site 2 is vCenter-2. I will have 10 VM's be replicated from Site1 to Site2, how should i request the license ? Bind one 10-VM license to each vCenter, or just bind one 10-VM license to vCenter-1.

Hi there,
Only the prod/source VMs should be licensed, since the license is activated on a per vCenter basis (locked to the vCenter UID), the vCenter housing the prod VMs would need to be licensed. In your case, that's site1 vCenter.

Hi Idan,
I know this is a post in 2018 but is that the same rule applied with newer RP4VM licensing as well? version 5.3? Also what happens if the customer make the DR site as Primary and replicate back to primary for an extended period of time

Hi @baghelanand,
It hasn't changed. As long as the VM is not unprotected and protected in the DR site after failover, no licensing changes would be required. if it is reprotected (or a diff VM) then a license would be required for that site. Either per-socket or per-VM license.
