View 4.5 to 5 Upgrade. Will I need new licenses?

Running View 4.5

In the License Portal my product is View Premier Add-On (View Manager and Composer) and the relevant licenses displayed that I used to install 4.5

I have 'Upgrades available' against my ESX 4 products but none for View, but I am able to download the view 5 product.

Q: Do I need NEW View 5 licenses or will my current 4.5 licenses work during the upgrade process.

My environment:- vSphere 4.1 : • ESX 4.1 Servers • vCenter Server 4.1 (VM) : - Windows Server 2008 64bit - MS SQL 2005 (VCDB/VUMDB) • NetBackup 6.5.5 - VCB 1.5 U1 • FC SAN

You don't see "View 5 Premier Add-on" available as an upgrade? Call vmware sales to make sure your account is accurate, maybe your sns lapsed or something.
