Good morning guys,
I need some help about changing licensing for a small business customer.
Actually we have a cluster with only 3 Esxi 5.0 hosts and a vcenter licensed with the Essential Pack.
We need to add some other hosts and the customer has already purchased the Enterprise Plus licenses for all (old and new) hosts.
What is the best way to change the licensing without creating problems to the production environment?
Hi Antonio,
There is no impact in changing the license at all. You simply replace the existing license with the new ones. No need to disconnect host or anything else.
Here is the KB.
Thanks,

As V said,it wont affect your performance or it wont create any probs.
Just change the license and apply new one.
For that log in to VI client.
Home->Administration ->Licensing
Right-click on the product and Change License Key.

Thank you very much.
I have changed several times licenses in the past, but I had never done from Essential to Enterprise Plus; given the limitations of the first one I thought there could be problems.
Just as well, thank you very much for your reply.
