Unable to Free License

Hi,

I removed one of our hosts from our VCenter server and for some reason the license is still being allocated? When I try to readd the host back in it won't let me select the license and as a result I'm unable to add it back into our VCenter. Any ideas how I can resolve this?

Try restarting the VMWare VirtualCenter Server service. (if vCenter 4+).

Restarting the service doesn't seem to do anything. Tried a complete reboot as well Smiley Sad

Unfortunately that's not really helpful as the asset isn't showing up in the license manager so I can't remove it.
