Hi!
I have downloaded and installed Virtual Center (2.0.2) on a Windows Server and ESX (3.0.2) on another server. Additionally I received two license files, a host only license file for ESX (VI_SingleHost.lic) and one for virtual center (VI_Centralized_Plus_VCMS.lic).
ESX is running properly (including virtual machines running properly) with the host only file and also with the license server. At the license server I imported the VI_Centralized_Plus_VCMS.lic license file and reloaded the server.
I can successfully connect to both ESX and virtual center with the virtual infrastructure client. The problem now is that I cannot add/connect the esx host to the datacenter in the virtual center. The error message I get is:
"Connection failed for 192.168.0.223 in dc0: Not enough CPU licenses"[/b]
(where 192.168.0.223 is the test ESX and dc0 is the test virtual datacenter in virtual center)
Some more license information for you:
