Hi,
I seem to be having serious issues with Licensing at the moment so I'd appreciate some help if possible.
I received my licenses from VMWARE a couple of weeks ago for vCenter & two ESX Servers. I added the licenses successfully & I had vCenter & both ESX working fine until yesterday evening.
Changes Made
- I need to add an ESXi Server to vCenter
- I received the license file from VMware and added the license file
- I was unable to add the ESXi server so I started to troubleshoot. The error I am getting is there is not enough licenses available.
So I decided to do the following:
- Selected the Administration menu
- Selected VirtualCenter Management Server Configuration
- I selected Evaluate VirtualCenter Server & selected ok
Now my problem is I cannot change this option back to 'Use License services on this VirtualCenter server. I now get the message 'There are not enough licenses installed to perform the operation'.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get vCenter out of evaluate mode for starters?
Also what is best practice for lic files.
I have 3 license files in the dir c:\Program Files\vmware\vmware license server\licenses\
Should I add all the licenses into one lic file?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
PM
