Daniel - thanks for your query. PPVE served licensing is definitely not going away, not sure where you heard that but there are no plans to discontinue served support. Served licenses are the preferred solution.  FYI both served and unserved options are explained in the PPVE Install and Admin Guide on support.emc.com.  Bob Lonadier  PowerPath Product Manager
Hello, I was told that EMC will only sell unserved licenses going forward. Once I get the individual certificates from EMC, do I still need the license server appliance to push the unserved licenses to the ESX host? If not, how do I install the license on the ESX host.
