Correct answer: A
Explanation
To manage licenses for VMware Aria Suite components, including Aria Operations for Networks, in a VMware Cloud Foundation environment, SDDC Manager is the central interface. The proper workflow involves navigating to the License Management tab, selecting 'Add License', entering the license key, and validating it before applying. This ensures the license key is accurate and valid for the intended component.
- A. Correct.
This is the correct process to add a license key through the SDDC Manager. It ensures the key is validated before being applied.
- B. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because license management for Aria Suite components, including Aria Operations for Networks, is handled through SDDC Manager, not directly in the Aria Operations for Networks interface.
- C. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because 'Assign License' is used to apply an existing license key to a component, not to add a new license key.
- D. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because adding licenses for Aria Suite components is managed through SDDC Manager, not directly through the vSphere Client.
