Licensing for a server that is only a replica

First of all, please excuse me if this question does not belong on this site. My question is simple: I have a 5.5 license (which I cannot update due to hardware limitations) and we want to have an identical replicated host in our company. Do I need a new license for this or can it be shared? Thank you very much for your answer.

Hi,

vmware doesn't support use one SN for two devices, so you need to buy a new license for it.

Now you can't buy directly the 5.5 version so you need to buy the latest one then downgrade it, but I'm unsure if you will be alone downgrade to version 5.5, so I thing there will be needed a help from vmware support.
