Upgrading from from 6.5 to 6.7

[yur0731]

I have a vCenter Server 6 Essentials and a vSphere 6 Essentials license.

But they were installed as version 6.5.  I am wanting to upgrade to 6.7.  Will these licenses work with 6.7?

I may do an upgrade (if someone can point the way to instructions?).  I may reinstall from scratch.  Will it work either way?  Is there anything I have to look out for?

VMWare support on the matter is useless.  But it's good to know the community may help.

Yes, those licenses will work. The best thing will be to use the upgrade functionality of the appliance which makes the process quite simple.

Hi,

The license key you have is valid for vSphere 6.x. Therefore, you can use this license on all versions of vSphere 6. So you can use version 6.0, 6.5, 6.7. You can upgrade from vSphere 6.5 to vSphere 6.7. The most important issue to note here is hardware compatibility. Can you send the brand model information of the physical server you used? Let's check for hardware compatibility.

You can use the link below for hardware compatibility.

Thanks.

Hi,

Great, last thing I have to say. Be sure to use HPE Customized ISO for new installations or upgrades.
