So are Virtual Environments supported by BMC? Has anyone else used them?

No, unless the license you purchased would allow for use on multiple non-virtual systems. "Spoofing" or duplication of MAC or IP addresses to circumvent license agreements is strictly forbidden. Are there any pricing discounts for virtual environments? Virtual servers will be treated as physical servers with regard to licensing. A customer using AR System or ITSM applications within a virtual server based operating system is subject to all licensing agreements and policies as if the server were a physical and non-virtual server. No inherent discounts or changes in licensing policy will be implemented for virtual environments at this time. Also note that Server group functionality is not supported for multiple servers on one (physical or virtual) machine. Your previous question was about server groups - so just covering that base in case that's what you were thinking... -David J.

The licenses are per arserver instance. This applies to separate arserver instances inside virtual machines the same as it does to separate arserver instances on physical hosts.
