Hello,
What license version is in use on these hosts?
If using vSphere Essentials or vSphere Essentials Plus, these do not support FT features.

HI TheBobkin
Me again. Just to be clear. 4xESXi hosts. All have the same (1 licence key) shared between and it is a free licence.
2 hosts running 6.0 and do not have that error. After l have updated 2 other to the 6.5 and started receiving an error as per my attached snip. Any ideas?
Regards,
Mykhaylo
Hello Mykhaylo,
Okay that may be a different story so.
When you say 'free' license, are you referring to ESXi Free version or Evaluation license?
(ESXi Free has very limited features, Evaluation version lasts 60 days and has full features the same as Enterprise Plus).
Attach a screenshot or even just take a look yourself at the available features on each of the hosts via the Web Client
Select a Host > Configure > System > Licensing > look at the 'Licensed Features', do you see 'vSphere FT' on either the 6.0 or 6.5 hosts?

Try to switch the license to Evaluation mode if the installation was done in 60 days.
Hello Mykhaylo,
No problem at all.
Can you attach screenshot of this screen from each of the hosts?
Select a Host > Configure > System > Licensing > look at the 'Licensed Features'
