Unable to assign licens to esxi 6.5 host

[tomare]

I am unable to assign a license i vcenter appliance to a host. In the Licenses view the correct number of licensed hosts shows:

But under Solutions it counts 14 CPUs assigned:

I have search around under licenses. The license count is correct in some views, but in this particular view it is wrong. When I try to add a host I get an error that there is insufficient license.

Kind regards

Hi,

what vCenter and PSC topology looks like in your environment? Is PSC external? How many PSCs and vCenters are deployed in this environment?

Can you confirm that the existing license is for the ESXi host's version.

Hi, we have one vCenter with embedded PSC.

All hosts are esxi 6.5, and all licenses are this type: "VMware vSphere 6 Enterprise Plus to vSphere 6 with Operations Management Enterprise Plus for 1 Processor"

I would also like to add that all the hosts have been licensed correctly. The error came overnight, without any obvious explanation. While we where investigating the problem. One host crashed because of an hardware error. It had to be removed, and now we get an insufficient license error when we try to add it back in, even if there should be two available CPU licenses.
