Hi
I have got myself a HPE server that I download the HPE Gen9 Plus Custom Image for ESXi 6.7 U3 Install CD image and install and everything works fine.
But when I trying to get a licens key I only find 7.0 and it does not work.
I just hope I do not need to reinstall the wmare so where can I find one when I login on https://my.vmware.com
The My VMware portal allows you to downgrade the existing license key from version 7 to version 6. Once you are ready to upgrade the host to version 7, you can then upgrade the license key again.

hmm ok thanks but I don't have any Manage Licenses or Account in the top of the my.vmware.com.
Hi @thecazz ,
Ensure that you are a 'Super User' for this account. Only Super Users with Upgrade and Downgrade License Keys permissions can upgrade/downgrade a license key.
Well it is my private account I have here so not sure what to see if I'm super user or not.
And if I'm not then I'm not sure how to fix that or that is maybe not I can do?
/Update
My old vmware esxi was a old 6.7 version so I did use that serial key. I going to replace that old with this new one.
