VROPS 8.0 cannot find option for what if analysis to add hosts

Hello all, trying to find the option for adding hosts (infrastructure planning) under optimize capacity - what if analysis and I am only seeing the option for Workload Planning:Traditional. Anyone else experience this? I checked my licensing status and it is licensed fully.

Any ideas?

tks

vROps Standard only provides add/remove VMs what if scenarios. See for a full featureset list between editions the link below:

Upgrade to advanced or higher and add license key in UI.

As far as i know for 8.0 a new license key is required.

When I check the help about it shows VROPS 8.0, however when I check licensing it shows VROPS 7 standard. I did go through upgrading my licenses on vmware site to version 8, so not sure why it is showing that. Even in version 7 though I thought they had the option to what if adding hosts.
