In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 usingdisconnected mode licensing, VCF Operations does not automatically synchronize license status with VMware’s cloud services. Instead, the administrator must periodically refresh the license file using amanual offline workflow. When the VCF Operations console reports that licenses have expired, it means the license entitlement in theVCF Business Services portalis out of date, and therefore VCF Operations cannot validate the current usage.

The VMware-documented offline licensing workflow requires the following steps:

Export the usage filefrom VCF Operations.This usage file contains consumption details needed to generate a new offline license.→C is correct.

Upload the usage file to the VCF Business Services consoleand generate a new offline license file.In disconnected mode, the Business Services portal is the only mechanism to create updated license entitlements.→D is correct.

Import the updated VCF license file into VCF Operations, specifically assigning it to theSDDC Manager.SDDC Manager is the system that validates and enforces licensing across workload domains, so the new license must be applied there—not only to a vCenter.→F is correct.

Options A and B do not affect license validation.

Option E is incorrect because workload-domain vCenter licensing is independent and not the root cause of VCF license expiration.
