Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems to compute application license costs of a number of applications run on virtual machines of a virtualized data center are described. In one aspect, one or more of the virtual machines (“VMs”) that form the virtual data center are determined. Each VM is created from hardware components specifications of one or more application blueprints stored in a data-storage devices. The one or more blueprints are searched to determine the one more applications that run in each VM. For each VM, a total VM application licensing cost of the one or more applications is computed based on one or more of an application instance license cost, application socket license cost, and application core license of each of the one or more applications associated with each application.
