VMware licenses after upgrade to new blade servers

 

we have a VMware vSphere 6 stander , licenses for 24 sockets and 2 Vcenter

 

now we are plan to replace the old hardware server which are 12 Cisco blade servers with new 12 blade servers Model UCSX-M7

my question how easy to move the Vmware to be apply to the new blades and decommission the old servers?

and if there any steps for that scenario

After a fresh installation , or an upgrade, vCenter Server and ESXi will run in a 60 day evaluation period.
This should give you enough time to migrate the VMs, decommission the old ESXi hosts, and finally assign the licenses to the new ones.
