vApp Network - licensing question

$

0

I figure this will be a quick question/answer...

 

I've been running my environment on demo licenses while configuring and shaking down and things are working well.  This morning I got my permanent license in place for vCloud Director and tested...everything continued to work as expected.  When I switched by vShield Manager license (from a demo "vCloud Networking and Security Advanced" to "vCloud Networking and Security - Networking for VCD") I ran into a problem.  I was notified that several features were going to go away due to a downgrade...first sign of trouble.  The switch appear to go well (in vSM logs) and I'm able to deploy simple configurations into my Org VDC as expected.  However when I try to deploy templates (multi-machine vApps) that have a vApp network it fails.  I get an unable to start message.  If I switch back to the earlier demo license...still valid for a week or so...everything starts working again.

 

I can't seem to find a clear statement or matrix that outlines what features require which licensing, but I suspect the downgrade (which removes vxlan according to the message I receive) is nuking my ability to use a vApp network.  Can someone confirm this and/or point me to the docs I need to investigate further?

 

Thanks a ton,

Matt

 

EDIT:

The [attached] image are the features I'm told I'll lose when making the license change.  Any idea which of these would cause my vApp Networks to stop functioning?LostFeatures.JPG
