VCOPS 5.0.3 to 5.8.4 re-deploy appliance / what with licence?

Hi all, we have deployed vCOps appliance 5.0.3 with license vCenter Operations Manager 5 Enterprise (capacity 300 VMs)

It's possible to re-deploy appliance but with newest version 5.8.4 using that same license key / get proper key without paying for it?

Or we have to buy new licence?

You can use the same license for 5.8.4, but not at the same time.

There is an "upgrade" option under licnese key managerment, however, when we upgraded from 5.0.3 to 5.7.1 we had to use a different license key because of the version of our vCenters. See this KB article:
