ESXI Version from HP with Serial from VMWare

Hello,
first of all i hope im in the right Location.

My question is, i have installed on HP ESXI 7.0 Update 3, with the HP ISO file, and now i want to inster the License key but this doesn't work.

I have a "vCenter Server 7 Essentials" license could i not use them?

Must i install all again or can i change this?

Thanks
Bruno

Every single license comes from VMware... there is no HPE, DellEMC or what ever license. Yes there are ESXi Custom Install CDs(ISOs).

Now your fault If you buy a Essentials(Plus) KIT you get 2 products which means 2 licenses.

1x Instance vCenter Server 7 Essentials
6x CPU vSphere Essentials

For me it looks like that you try to enter your vCenter lic into your ESXi... you need the other key!

Note: You buy always the recent version which is right now vSphere 7. If you run vSphere 6 you need to perform a downgrade of the license within the CustomerConnect portal.

Regards,
Joerg
