Controlling Licenses with Virtualization Manager

Our company is considering getting Virtualization Manager and I am curious if I have the ability to control the licensing once I connect to a vCenter. We have a lot of different clusters within vCenter; however, initially I only plan to purchase licensing for a few of those clusters and I am wondering if I can control which clusters I add to Virtualization Manager once it's connected to vCenter?

Thanks in advance for any responses!

Absolutely. You can do this by creating a new user inside the vCenter, which has limited cluster visibility. If you then supply Virtualization Manager with this special user's credentials, it will only will only take into account the clusters that this user is allowed to see.
