A trial license is built into the appliance. So just install it, move your VMs/hosts over to the new vCenter, then shutdown the old one and apply its license key.

The trial license is good for 60 days an enables all features, so you should be fine.

ok i add vcenter licence in anew one but it still shown as

vcenter,xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx VMware vCenter Server 6 Standard (Instances),0 Instances,1 Instances,Never

There are vCenter Server systems with expired or expiring licenses in your inventory
