Licensing Issue with FT

I purchased servers with too many cores to handle the licensing purchased (vSphere 4 Essentials Plus). In order to fix this problem, I disabled my licenses and shut down cores in the BIOS of the servers. When I attempted to leave evaluation mode and reapply the license, I get error "Features in use". It tells me I have FT in use. The KB Article: 1008026 explains how to disable FT on VMs, but none of my VMs (on either host) have FT Enabled. On the "summary" tab for each host, it even states "Host Configured for FT: No". Any ideas on why the licensing would think its enabled?

Just a guess. Take a look at the virtual networking and make sure none of the VMkernel prot groups is configured for FT.
