Virtual Center 2.x vmotion Manage ESX 2.5

Do I need a specail license to enable vmotion on my ESX 2.5 thats being managed by Virtual Center 2.x. I curently have vmotion licences available.

To enable vmotion to I just click in the gui vmotion settings and enter a ip address. Does the ESX require a reboot then?

I want to cold vmotion a VM on esx 2.5 to my esx 3.1 system so that we can start to get run of the older ESX OS

If you are doing a cold migration (the VM is turned off), then this is not VMotion and licensing should be irrelevant.
