Activate add-on license with vCMP

Hi,

 

I have two Viprion devices with vCMP license and six Guest deployment (3 for device with LTM license). Reciently we buy a APM license (Add-on) for a Guest device.

 

The license is activated Host Level, when active the license. Do you know if it affects the Guest devices? Do you know if you have something in mind to activate?

 

Thanks

    My understanding is licenses are applied to the vCMP host, however each guest can be provisioned separately.
