Add additional licenses to ESX 3.5 / vCenter
Hello
I just wanted to check the process of adding new licenses to a 3.5 ESX / vCenter 2.5 environment.
Can I have several .lic files in the license folder? There is currently a license file in place, but it is necessary to add a license to a new server, purchased a vsphere license 5 which will have to be demoted to a .lic file?
Is there a risk involved in existing hosts if there is a problem with the license server after you add the new file?
After you add the license file, I guess I just need to configure the host to point to the license server. Should I do before or after the addition of the host to vcenter?
Thanks in advance.

Hello
Yes, you can have several license files - no need to group them into a single file. Once you add your host to vcenter, your host should automatically pick the license, and you will see the name of your license server in the configuration of license tab on your host computer.
Thank you

VMware ESX Server, version 2.5.0 build-11548
VC V. 2.0.2 Build 50618
My current mission is with some legacy equipment and versions.
When I add an esx host to vCenter (see versions above) - I don't get any options to add the 'module' of license to vCenter. The 3.0.2 host works well with a license from the local host and Add-ons vcenter. Version 2.5.0 host has a configured host license. I figured I could use a license for the host of the server and add vMotion, HA, DRS & as Add-ons of vCenter. Selecting the host 2.5 licenses tab is not activate 'configuration of the host' link or it lists license config below.
Also, if I should not just use vCenter 2.0.2 for esx 2.5.x guests... please chime in with the grounds.
Can the server vCenter 2.0.2 licenses treat the add-on (vMotion, HA, DRS) licenses for a range of esx 2.5.x with a local host (Server/SMP) license (s) OR even just centralized? It does for 3.0.2 without effort.
No - vmotion, HA and DRS is not possible with ESX 2.5 - even if it was possible to use the license server centralized with VC 2.0.x these features of VI - 3 can have be used with older versions of ESX.
If this is not the case, can I change esx 2.5.x to open ports or to start a service allowing the centralized license mgmt?
The only way to manage centrally ESX 2.5 license is with VC - 1, x -.

installation of licenses for unit 3 expiration vSphere ESX 4 &; 1 vCenter server
Hello
I have a problem with the installation of vSphere for unit 3 licenses expired ESX 4 & 1 Server vCenter.
I have server unit 3 ESX 4 & 1 vCenter server is installed on the evaluation version that all were connected and works well.
Today, I saw evaluation is expired and I have installed a license purchased for vCenter, now works well... & out of server ESX 3 1 automatically
Get connected & I have including the license key for this ESX box... but I was not able to enter a license key for other areas of ESX4 2.
So what I did is I connected ESX4 directly from vSphere client & entered a license key, its activated, but when I disconnected and tried to connect
Yet once vcenter, it does not say "your ESX Server license has expired.
So my question is why I can't bring back boxes ESX4 to vCenter?, what could be the possible solution?
Help, please.
Thank you
Rashid
You can enter all vCenter licenses (all series numbers) and then just assign a particular series (or licenses of serial number) via vCenter.

Should we have the additional license for managing ESXi4 host?
We have operated vSphere 4.0 hosts for a period of time. We will implement ESX4i host in the near future. We would like to confirm that we can use the existing vCenter Server for the management of the ESX4i host without additional costs.
In addition, we currently Support Gold for ESX hosts, do we need to purchase additional ESXi support? Is this host or CPU?
Your opinion is requested.
Thank you

you have 2 licenses. (you can find them when you connect with the customer for the vcenter tab in admin, licenses)
1 for the vcenter itself
1 for esx/esxi hosts.
So yes, if your license allows 12 processors and you have already used 10 cpu, you can add 1 host more (esx or esxi) with 2 cpu.
When you delete an esx server, you can of course add another esxi host.

Licensing ESXi 3.5 via vCenter
I have a question of license for ESX and ESXi...
I currently have 3 VI Enterprize license for 4 processors. The current infrastructure consists of 2 ESX 3.5 servers (2 CPUs). Now, I want to replace both with new guests who have ESXi 3.5 on them (download free, already installed in evaluation mode). What I wonder: if I remove the hosts current (ESX) vCenter and add the new (ESXi), will be the new hosts to be licensed with the same license? I hope I make this clear enough... current hosts use a license server to license and I expect to do the same with the new because when I remove the current hosts of the vCenter they must 'release' licenses they use, no? Or I get the wrong idea... is there anything else I should do with ESXi hosts to get a permit?
D
Welcome to the community when you poweer off the host he relese the license to the license server, which allows you to point the new ESXi 3.5 on the license server to obtain its license.

5.5.5 Advanced VDP cannot add a license to a host
I downloaded and installed the eval mainly to test the functionality of replication of 60 days.
I have the license provided by vmware and added during the installation/configuration
Enter the web client then the POS and the configuration tab.
This page is supposed to have an advanced POS tab or link to go somewhere to add hosts to the allowed list.
This facility does not have the Advanced tab.
the configuration has confirmed the version and the mode is advanced vdp as shown on the left side of the configuration page
Adds the License Manager to license in vcenter (device 5.5)
I'm stuck, cannot do all the backups until I have a license to host.
any suggestions?
Thank you
finish by closing the vcenter and all 5 devices of vdp
interesting thing to note is that the element of Data Protection of vSphere in the left menu of the web client disappears when there is no POS device running.
all brought to the top entered the advanced VDP connection and now the advanced license option is present and functional. don't have an answer for this, but at least I can with the eval.
at the same time, I was looking into using high processor on the device of vcenter 5.5 and found that it is POS devices.
without any POS running host cpu is 40%, started 2 and it went to about 50%, 60 plus 2% more then in the last 4 hours, he established at 40%
before complete stop of all POS and vcenter vc ran 90 percent even after a reboot of the Victoria Cross. Looks like they have sometimes a few problems to agree, but a new start for everyone seems to get by.
