      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am trying to assign Essentials Kit vSphere 7 license to free licensed hypervisor ESXi 6.5. I got 'Please provide a valid license key' error message when I clicked on 'Check license' button.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Do I need to remove existing free hypervisor license from the host first, and then assign &lt;SPAN style="display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: #ffffff; color: #3d3d3d; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"&gt;Essentials Kit vSphere 7 license? Or is it problem with versions, and I cannot apply vSphere 7 Essentials Kit license to 6.5 free hypervisor?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you for any advice and help!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
