2. Navigate to [Setup] > [Licenses]. Then click on [Go to License Manager] in order to add your license keys.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Next click on [Add License]:
   
   
   
   
   
4. Copy and Paste your license key. If it is a Perpetual License key, go ahead and click [Add License]:
   
   

   
   
   If you enter a Subscription License Key, you will get the following options upon entering it. Enter an email address for a technical contact, regarding support as well as notifications for the subscription.
   
   You also have the option to [Auto Assign] newly discovered VMs to the subscription license you are adding. Then click [Add License].
   
   
   
   
   

5. Once you have added all of your license keys, you should see something similar in your License Manager:
   
   
   
   
   

6. Once you have added your license keys, it's time to assign them.
   
   If you are planning to assign a Perpetual key, make sure that you select a host (this will automatically select all VMs located on that host), then click [Assign License to...]
   
   Select your preferred license key from the list and then click [Next] and finally [Assign License] to confirm.
   
   
   
   
   If you are assigning a Subscription, select a host (this will automatically select all VMs located on that host) or individual VMs, then click [Assign License to...]
   
   Select your preferred license key from the list and then click [Next] and finally [Assign License] to confirm.
   
   

Once you have assigned your keys, you should see a summary of what each host or VM has assigned to it. You can very easily [Unassign] by clicking the button to the side.
