@kewitz,

Have you updated your license from vSphere 7 to 8? Also, if you have vCenter and your evaluation license has expired, you need to apply the license from inside the ESXi as it will get disconnected from vCenter.

>>> The license menue does not exist

Can you confirm that you're logged in to vCenter Server with a user that has the required permissions?
In doubt, use the local administrator account (administrator@vsphere.local by default).
