With a Synology Virtual DSM license, you can run Virtual DSM on Virtual Machine Manager to enjoy the full range of features provided in the standard DiskStation Manager, including file services and add-on applications. Virtual Machine Manager enables High Availability, ultra-fast snapshots, and protection plans, which helps enhance system up-time and management flexibility.
Each Virtual DSM license pack adds one Virtual DSM instance to Virtual Machine Manager. A license supports Virtual DSM upgrades within a three-year period.
In Virtual Machine Manager, go to License > Virtual DSM and click Add. Your Synology NAS must be connected to the Internet when you add the license.
