licensing in mixed 3.0 - 3.5

[Wimo]

In the lab so, not critical. I upgraded one host to 3.5 U1. The other is still 3.0.2. I can power on a VM on the 3.5 host, but on the 3.0.2 host I get not enough licenses. Is this expected?

[Draconis]

Can you doublecheck on that upgraded host and see that you are in the proper licensing (single-host, centralized)?

Hello

3.0 and 3.5 licences are the same so this in not a concern... You may have a look on your licence server or Virtual Center Admin tab the find how your licences as been distributed. I think that your issue is related with the licences service configuration

it sounds more like a licensing issue, rather than part of the upgrade. How are the hosts licened, host based or through VC?

Sorry I meant to say is this...

Well if it was host based and the license file went out the window, that might be it. If it is controlled by VC, make sure you stop/start/reread your licenses to make sure you have an accurate count. Double check that the license files are in your VC directory also.

If you have found my answer helpful or correct, please award points.

I meant to give jfr the Correct points and Helpfuls to you other guys, but messed it up. Oh well, sorry.

The upgraded host was properly licensed. The un-upgraded host, I had to go to Admin-Lic and do the edit license thing to change from Unlicensed. Would have expected that to work the other way around. Anyway, thanks guys.

Can a moderator please correct the points given or is that not possible?

[Draconis]

I misread the post too. I thought you were having issues with the upgraded one. Thats what happens when you are trying to do Windows updates and this at the same time. :smileyblush:

It's ok... don't care for the point

I'm happy to see your problem solve
