Viewing Software License Allocation
When a vApp is created in vCloud Director via Request Manager, software licenses that are associated to the
vApp Template used to create the vApp are allocated to the new vApp.
When a vApp is deleted in vCloud Director, Request Manager releases all software licenses allocated to the
vApp. The allocation record is removed and the available license count for that software is increased.
