As long as you have multiple vCenter instance license you can install it. If not have, even you can install however after 60 days get expire..
Licensing for vCenter Server

If you only bought 1x vSphere Essentials than the answer is no.

Your entitlement with that license is for up to 3 ESXi hosts plus 1 instance of vCenter Server
