Max vCPU's on ESXi 7.0U1

Hi, On ESXi 7.0U1, they claim 4096 vCPU's are supported. I am using 4S- 28 core server in my environment. I am trying to increase the maximum vCPU using the command "esxcfg-advcfg -j maxvCPUs", which is not working. Did anyone seen this kind of issues in their environment? I am having EVALUATION license on my ESXi server. Regards, Vasu

Are you sure you are running ESXi in evaluation mode, or are you using a free "vSphere Hypervisor" license?

If the latter, there are limitations as per the screenshot attached.
