Description

The VMware vSphere 7 Essentials Kit 1-Year Subscription (VS7-ESSL-SUB-C) provides the subscription entitlement associated with the VMware vSphere 7 Essentials Kit base license VS7-ESSL-KIT-C.

This SKU is intended to be ordered and used together with VS7-ESSL-KIT-C and should not be presented as a standalone vSphere license.

The associated Essentials Kit includes VMware ESXi virtualization software and vCenter Server Essentials for centralized management, together with features such as vCenter agents and Update Manager.

The VS7-ESSL-SUB-C SKU provides a 1-year subscription term for the Essentials Kit. It is therefore appropriate for customers purchasing or already holding the corresponding VS7-ESSL-KIT-C license.
