Mixing ESXi 5.x versions?

I have an ESXi 5.1 install under the free license.

I have just bought the Essentials kit 5.0.

Does the Essentials kit allow me to use other 5.x versions like 5.1 and 5.5?

Also will vCenter have an issue managing different ESXi versions?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Friend,

I am not much aware @Essentials Kit. But In general, vCenter can manage different ESXi versions.  VC 5.5 can manage ESXi 5.5/5.1/5.0 etc.
