Where do I enter my ESXi license key?

I am having a hard time finding where to put the license key that I recieved when I downloaded the product. Sorry for such a simple question.

Thanks in advance!

Go to the Configuration tab in the VI Client and click on Licensed Features under the Software section. Then click Edit and you should be able to enter the serial number.

Awesome, thank you so much. I was looking in the toolbar at the top. I can't believe I spent a half day trying to figure that one out. Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you. I am not sure why Vmware made it hard to figure out where to enter the License key.
