vCenter 2.5 your licenses are managed from a license server. You have to have centralized license files created from your license portal on the VM Ware administration site.

So your first step is you need to create the proper files that can be hosted on the license server. Did you setup a license server and did you make them a centralized license file?

Plus if you can't merge them into a single managed server license, you can't have more than 1 license file on the license server, so that may be a limitation of enterprise / fundamental.

With vSphere this is much easier you can manage them all from one place, regardless of type.
