Did you upgraded your vSphere ESXi 4.1 licenses to newest version (5.x), if not, go to MyVMware, upgrade the licenses keys and apply again to the license key inventory of vCenter.

Hello,

Problem solved

The license is described as vcloud suite 5 but it is indeed 5.1 so it is not compatible with vsphere 5.0. I downgradeed the license and now is working?

Thanks
