Licensing for migration of hosts between vCenters

[bigdazza75]

Hi.

I have two vCenters:

vCenter1, v5.5

HostA, v5.1

HostB, v5.1

vCenter2, v6.0

I want to migrate the hosts from vCenter1 to vCenter2. I assume I should add the license same keys to the new vCenter and then run the usual host migration process. But I want to check what happens to the host and VMs during the short time between vCenters as I assume the host loses its license.

I obviously want to ensure operations continue uninterrupted.

Thanks

From the license perspective you should not worry about, it should work, but take a look at this KB article for additional considerations: VMware KB: Moving a managed ESXi/ESX host from one vCenter Server to another vCenter Server
