License swap

[eldingo]

Hello everybody:

I have two questions.

1. Would there be any issue, if I decommision an ESX 3.0 host to free up a license for ESX 3.5 host?

2. Can ESX 3.5 and ESX 3.0 hosts coexist on 2.5 Virtual Center Server?

Thanks for your time.

1. the 3.0 license will work for the 3.5 node you have

2. Yes, you can have a mixture of host versions on the same VC server

I have 3.0.2, 3.5 & 4.0 all on the same VC server
