FAQ
How does the migration to the new licensing model work?
Migration involves upgrading the usage meter to version 4.8, obtaining new licensing keys through your white-label partner, Internet Vikings. It’s more of an administrative process than a technical one.
How is support provided?
Support is provided through your partner rather than directly through VMware or Broadcom. This change streamlines the support process, ensuring partners deliver the initial level of support before escalating issues as needed.
Does VMware licensing apply to social or sweepstake casinos?
Yes, the licensing model applies to all types of businesses, including social casinos, sweepstake casinos, e-commerce sites, and more.
What is the current price per core for VMware licenses?
Pricing starts from approximately $35 per core for VVF Essentials Plus and can go up to $350 per core for VCF, depending on the specific requirements and partnership agreements.
How might this apply to a U.S. state just starting iGaming?
