Question
Do I need to change licenses when moving to the new deployment architecture? Do I require
additional database licenses?
There are no new licenses required to move to the new deployment architecture. The existing licenses for OMi as well as for the BSM - APM products can be used. The OMi license is not bound to a specific server IP address. Therefore it is no problem to move an existing OMi license from a BSM - APM system to a freshly installed OMi 10.xx server.
With regards to the license required for the database used by APM and OMi: The BSM - APM system
continues to use an existing enterprise license for Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server. OMi 10.xx
continues to support Oracle and Microsoft SQL versions. If the same database version can be used, it is possible to share the database system. However, a dedicated schema needs to be created for OMi. Another possibility is to configure PostgreSQL to be used with OMi. PostgreSQL is an open source database and the software is available free of charge. PostgreSQL can be used as an external database or as an embedded version that ships with OMi.
Please see the support matrix for exact versions that are supported.
