Can an enterprise and enterprise plus license live in same cluster?

I know this is probably a worst practise, but I happen to have an extra license so rather than spending money, can a vmware cluster have one ESXi 4.0 server with an enterprise license and another with an enterprise plus?

At some point when i actually need another license, I'll either upgrade or purchase an additional license.

Thanks!

Tom

you will not have issue if you use the lower version of the license across all the hosts.

This question came up a few days ago but I can't find that thread.  Here's a similar  one - http://communities.vmware.com/thread/253796?start=0&tstart=0.  Basically if you're not relying on Ent Plus features then you should have no issues.

If you have dcswitch on Enterprise plus, you cannot have hosts with lower license in the same cluster.
