Below is how you assign the license.

To assign licenses to the vCenter Server or the ESXi host:

Log in to the vSphere Client.

Click Home.

Under the Administration section, click the Licensing icon.

Choose Evaluation Mode and expand the list. Find the product you want to license.

Right-click on the product and click Change License Key.

Assign a key from list that was entered previously on Manage License window.

Click OK.

Verify that the product is licensed now.

I understand that you are not able to see the Licensing icon could possibly due to browser issue. Chrome usually works better than IE when it comes to VMware Web Interfaces.

if you are not able to see it on chrome you try trusting the web page and relaxing the security for the trusted site.

hope it works.

Regards

KK

2. Click the Configuration tab.
3. Click Licensed Features under Software.
4. Click Edit under Licensed Features.
5. Select Assign a new license key to this host.
6. Press Enter and enter the License Key.
7. Click OK.
