Updating SSL Certs breaks licensing service?

Hi,

So, my signed cert is expiring soon. I purchased a renewal and went thru the process of installing the certificate via the certificate manager (option 1)

The certificate installs successfully, and if I examine the certificate I get when logging into the webclient it seems to be correct.

However, the hosts become disconnected. I tried renewing the CA certificate on each host, but that doesnt seem to help.

Trying to reconnect the hosts gives me an error saying that a license could not be applied to the host... Asks if the license server is available.

I checked the license server, and it is indeed running.

I am using the vsphere 6 appliance.

This was upgraded from vsphere 5. I had originally installed the certs in 5 and they were migrated over. Not sure if that is pertinent or not.

Thanks for any insight you have

Jason
