This key is registered when you select the Register GUI as vCenter plug-in check box during the installation. A separate key is registered for each web GUI host. When multiple web GUI hosts exist, then multiple instances of the Data Protection for VMware vSphere GUI plug-in are registered.

This key is registered when you select the Register the vSphere Web Client extension check box during the installation.
