SRIOV related error while powering up the vm

We have full vsphere license but when i tried to poweron the vm, after adding some sriov virtual functions, the error pops up

Cannot perform this operation due to a license restriction. Either the license edition of the ESXi host does not support this operation, or the vCenter server system that manages the host has a license that restricts this operation through a direct connection to the host.

Failed to start the virtual machine.

SR-IOV passthrough adapter is not supported with this license of product.

SR-IOV should be in the vSphere Enterprise Plus license and the vSphere with Operations Managment Enterprise Plus but NOT in vSphere Standard.

What license do you have?
