Dead server has not returned Vmotion licenses to vc

Basically one of our ESX servers died completely and has not returned the Vmotion licenses it was holding.. ie: I not see them in VC, and cannot reuse them on a new system.

Does anyone have any idea how to get these licences back without the server as it is completely fecked!! Do the licences expire at any point after VC has lost connection with the host??

Any help would be much appreciated!!

Personally I would just restart the VMware License Server service at some point.

Have you removed the host from Virtual Center? Right-click on host and select "Remove".
