ESXi wouldn't map it through as a USB drive to your guest machine as it would on Workstation but it would show up as an available datastore. Check through the vSphere client to see if it's been detected.

I have checked with Vspehe client, but no luck. Actually a USB Dongle which contains license file to run a application. Virtualization is done, but unable to map the dongle. Any help.

This is pretty much your only choice/option... Or something like this...

It will help, but my server is in right now production. Let me do the same on weekend.
