I currently have (3) licensed 4.0 vCenter Servers, and need to decommission 1 for relocation to another data center. From viewing the online documentation I have found the following:
Procedure
1 If you are uninstalling the vCenter Server, unlicense the vCenter Server and the hosts, and remove the
license keys from the license inventory.
2 If you are uninstalling the vCenter Server, remove the hosts from the Hosts and Clusters inventory.
3 As Administrator on the Microsoft Windows system, select Start > Settings > Control Panel >
Add/Remove Programs.
4 Select the component to remove from the list and click Remove.
5 Click Yes to confirm that you want to remove the program and click Finish
The vCenter server currently has no HOST's assigned to it, but I am having difficulty removing the License Key from the vCenter Server to be decommissioned.
What would the best practice or recommended procedure be to remove this license from my environment?
