# Install and activate VMware HCX in Azure VMware Solution

VMware HCX Advanced and its associated Cloud Manager are no longer pre-deployed in Azure VMware Solution. Instead, you'll need to install it through the Azure portal as an add-on. The default is HCX Advanced, after which you can still request VMware HCX Enterprise Edition through support if you need the features in the Enterprise edition. You'll still download the HCX Connector OVA and deploy the virtual appliance on your on-premises vCenter.

HCX Advanced supports up to three site connections (on-premises to cloud or cloud to cloud). If you need more than three site connections, use HCX Enterprise Edition. To activate HCX Enterprise Edition, which is currently in public preview on Azure VMware Solution, open a support request to have it enabled. Once the service is generally available, you'll have 30 days to decide on your next steps. You can also turn off or opt-out of the HCX Enterprise Edition service but keep HCX Advanced as it's part of the node cost.

Any edition of VMware HCX supports 25 site pairings (on-premises to cloud or cloud to cloud). The default is HCX Advanced, but you can open a [support request](https://rc.portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Support) to have HCX Enterprise Edition enabled, which is currently in public preview. Once the service is generally available, you'll have 30 days to decide on your next steps. You can also turn off or opt out of the HCX Enterprise Edition service but keep HCX Advanced as it's part of the node cost.

Downgrading from HCX Enterprise Edition to HCX Advanced is possible without redeploying. First, ensure youve reverted to an HCX Advanced configuration state and not using the Enterprise features. If you plan to downgrade, ensure that no scheduled migrations, features like RAV and [HCX Mobility Optimized Networking (MON)](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-HCX/4.1/hcx-user-guide/GUID-0E254D74-60A9-479C-825D-F373C41F40BC.html) aren't in use, and site pairings are three or fewer.

>You can also [uninstall HCX Advanced](#uninstall-hcx-advanced) through the portal. When you uninstall HCX Advanced, make sure you don't have any active migrations in progress. Removing HCX Advanced returns the resources to your private cloud occupied by the HCX virtual appliances.
