vSphere Essentials Plus license not accepting

Hi,

We setup three R630s and ESXi 7, with vSphere HA enabled.  I have not touched Fault Tolerance for any of the VMs.  I'm trying to assign my licenses for Essentials Plus and it tells me I cannot because something is using Fault Tolerance.  I have no VMs using FT and all FT options are greyed out on the vSphere Appliance, so I'm not sure if that's what's causing the issue?

We were told that simple vSphere HA is available in Essentials Plus.  So if a host goes offline, then the VMs will spin up on the other hardware available.  I'm not using DRS either, to balance resources.

What you may want to check, is whether one of the port groups has accidentally been marked for FT.
