Hello,

Hello :)

As @omercier explained in the previous issue #5628

Since the Perl SDK (on which the connector relies) is not supported for this version of VMware, we don't plan on making it evolve.
We're currently working on plugins using vSphere 8 API, though.
The subject of license monitoring has not been started yet, but we'll try our best to cover all previous functionalities with the new plugins.
If you have already found information about licenses in the VMware 8 automation API, that may help us handle this quicker 👍🏻

Hello, and thanks for your feedback.

This is what I have found about licenses :

https://developer.broadcom.com/xapis/vmware-cloud-foundation-api/latest/v1/license-keys/get/

https://{api_host}/v1/license-keys
GET /v1/license-keys

licenseKeyUsage : total, used, remaining, et licence en unités (ex. INSTANCE)
licenseKeyValidity.expiryDate : date d’expiration au format ISO 8601

"licenseKeyUsage": { "total": 5, "remaining": 4, "used": 1, "licenseUnit": "INSTANCE" },
"licenseKeyValidity": { "licenseKeyStatus": "ACTIVE", "expiryDate": "2029-05-23T16:12:53.001Z" }

Regards,
