Can't issue licenses to ESX server with License Server

I have two ESX servers that are part of my Lab Manager evaluation. I just got another 30 day eval key for my license servers, when I have replaced (my previous license expired over the weekend).

So the License Server is happy, and says I have 16 licenses, 0 assigned. I go into th VI client tool, connect to ESX server, then go to Configuration -> Licenses. I edit the license source and click ok, so it re-reads the license server information. Then I click on ESX license type, and try to change from "unlicensed" to "ESX standard license". Then I get an error "There are not enough licenses to perform the operation"

Any clues?

Nevermind, I just had to reboot the license server. a service restart didn't seem to do it. All fixed now.
