VI client License features Add ons is disabled

Hi,

I downloaded and installed two ESX 3.5 evaluation servers and then i installed evaluation version virtual center server 2.5 update 3 on a seperate machine. After that i logged into the VC server through vi client and added the two Host but i'm unable to edit the add-on features inside configuration tab->Licensed feautures.The edit option is greyed out. It shows vmotion- not used,vmware HA -not used etc etc. On one server it shows evaluation 45 days remaining and on other it shows 56 days remaining.

Can some one help me in enabling these licensed features?

Thanks in advance

I learned that in evaluation version by default the add ons feature is disabled and you can edit only if you have a valid license file. Here i was unable to do vmotion, i was under the impression that this is stopping me doing vmotion later i found that i have the enable the vmtion option under vmkernal adapter. My issue got resolved after enabling vmotion in vmkernal.
