Issue/Introduction

This addresses a confusion that vSphere requires a Tanzu license for subscribed vCenter's.

Symptoms:
Workload Management is asking for Tanzu licenses when vCenter is subscribed. The UI asks eighter to fill up a form for an evaluation license or request to add a Tanzu license in the inventory.
Since subscribed vCenter is entitled to Tanzu, the UI shouldn't request a license for the same.

Environment

VMware vCenter Server 7.0.3

Cause

It is a UI bug that will be addressed in future versions.

Resolution

Option 1:
Fill up the form with any data, and it won't appear anymore.

Option 2:
Directly visit the enablement URL, and the enabled WCP wizard will appear. Once the WCP is enabled on a single cluster, the form won't appear anymore.
