Issues with global.licenses after upgrade to 5.5

Just upgraded to 5.5 and started using the web client instead of the old local client....... Time to learn new stuff..

Well after the upgrade I am not able to manage certain things, open console a VM or access different tabs etc.

I get this error (under Administration - Licensing - licenses)

The Global.Licenses privilege is required on the selected vCenter Server system. Grant Global.Licenses on the selected vCenter Server system to see licensing information

Any idea what to do, tried to search the web and look around in the web client, but nothing.!

Found the solution here.

vcenter server error you dont have a permission . when trying to connect vcenter server 5.5 through ...

For some reason no one other than local administrator had permission on the Datacenter object.

Logged in as local administrator and added our Domain Admin group with administrator permissions and voila!
