The issue is your ESX server is not seeing the approiate licenses - I assume you re using the free ESXi version. It is free but you will still need to obtain the approriate base license (which is free) - Once you have that you will need to install the approriate licensing information or at least set the licensing to evaluation mode - check out ESX Server 3i Installable Setup Guide on the documents for more detailed informaiton on licensing and how to apply the licenses - if you could please provide a screen shot from the VI CLient of the configuration tab with licensing selected under software -

If you find this or any other answer useful please consider awarding points by marking the answer correct or helpful

I WOULD FIRST RECOMMEND REPAIRING YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY, IT APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE
