Enterprise Licenses on different versions

[NaeemKhan1]

Hi,

We have 4 ESXI hosts all running on Enterprise Standard Version and another on Enterprise Plus.  I want to know if this will cause any issues if I have them all in the same cluster.  Currently I have the Enterprise plus host in Maintenance mode ready to go on.

I am currently on version 6 and hoping to get someone in to get these upgraded to at least version 6.7.

Thanks in advanced.

You should be able to run the hosts in the same cluster, as long as you dont need/enable features that are only available in the Plus edition.

Up to vSphere <=7 this isnt a problem as long as you dont have a E+ Feature configured or in use.

Thank you for the response.

I've taken it out of maintenance mode and it seems to be functioning well. What features do I need to disable for this host that prevents it in using these plus features?

Thank you.

Since End of Availabllity for the Enterprise edition was in mid 2016, there are only a few comparison charts available which take that edition into account. One of them is https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2109507.
