Can we change ESXi host license license free licensed?

We currently have two additional CPU of ESX license so that we can assign a new install ESXi host that is not connected to FC SAN.

However, we would like to know because of the need, can change us the license assigned to the ESXi host under a free license, so that we can use it on another ESX or ESXi host?

Thank you

Yes, you can change any time, licenses you have is only the functionality.

If you run virtual Center and you have a rich license feature and decided to change for free, save a single license, you could end up losing the functionality and the ability to power on if some vm of the vcpu exceed your new license mode.

But tehcnically licenses you can change anytime, you could even remove a license and return to eval for 60 days.

  • Can't access ESXi host after VLAN for MGMT has been implemented?

    Hello

    We run ESXi 5.1 and recently to get our network

    Network administrator has received only 5 VLAN for MGMT vSwitch.  Since then, we are not able to ping on the ESXi host, or access in vCenter.

    He received different VLAN for vMotion and vSwitch and VM.

    Just would like to ask your advice what changes I need to do?

    Hello

    That doesn't sound right. You have 3 different vSwitches with 2 ports on each, so you can not the team together on the side of the switch.

    This would have been right if you had a vDS with 6 uplinks and various exchanges by the feature that you do not.

    You have need of the network is to set up 3 different teams one by vSwitch and to start with that you have the management must be in the access mode so that you can retrieve with your ESX box connectivity.

    Also the vMotion didn't need to be mode trunk you'll only of vMotion. Data (VM) must be master.

  • LaserJet P1505n printer: How can I change the host name to NPI1BDC68 to meaninful something more?

    My network, a HP LaserJet P1505n printer, host name is set to NPI1BDC68. Is this cable or is there a way for me to change? Trying to solve: manuals were reviewed, Forum questions were searched, google General search conducted. I am running Win XP and a Mac Pro with OS X 10.6.8.

    Well, which took me 10 minutes to solve.  I found the answer on a HP site based in France. (I kinda changed my google query and tried again.)  The site asks on first access, if you wish to continue in English, thankfully.  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01175001

    In short, use Internet Explorer or Safari, go to the IP address of your network printer.  For Win XP users, you can determine the IP address using, start/printers and faxes /(select printer)/properties/ports tab / select new/Configure button/second field printer port to down the IP address shown.

    Once connected to the network printer subsystem, select the Networking tab.  The host name is the first field which can be changed. Enter a new name from 1 to 15 characters.  Tip: He doesn't like spaces. Underscores work well and the new name can be mixed case. Press the button apply at the bottom of the screen when done.  Warning appears that access to the printer may need to be changed if the IP address has been changed.  Acknowledge the warning. Printer goes offline for a few seconds. The page automatically refreshes and the new host name can be confirmed by inspection.

  • Is there a limit on the number of times you can upgrade an ESXi host?

    We have VMware hosts that have been updated to ESXi 4.1 5.1 using the Update Manager.  Wouldn't we be ok to update these servers ESXi 5.5 or 6.0 without having to do a fresh install and reformat?

    Thank you

    I don't know if there is a limit to how many times where you can upgrade, but the upgrade to ESXi 4.1 to 5.1 and 5.5 is supported and works (I just tested it in my lab).

  • Upgrade license on ESXi host for a Standard license for vSphere

    On an ESXi host using the free version, I understand that to have it managed by our current Server vCenter (which is licensed to vCenter Server Standard 4) we must update the license on the ESXi host for a vSphere Standard license. First is correct in what I think? I know there is another option using the vSphere Essentials, but this only covers 3 hosts of what I read and we have 4 hosts ESXi we want to manage, and also we would prefer to have all managed under the vCenter server if possible.

    Second, if it's true, it's as simple as putting in the new license key on the ESXi host, and then I will be able to manage through our current server vCenter (who also manage our ESX host)? Or it would be a full erase + install different version of ESX on each host?

    Thank you

    you are perfectly right and it's as simple as that. Just enter the new key on the host computer through the vSphere client and add it to vcenter.

    The standard license is the one you want.

    Best regards

  • Share of CPU between ESXi hosts in a cluster?

    Is it possible to configure a cluster with a pool of CPU resources such as all CPUS of all ESXi hosts in the cluster are in the pool and if a virtual machine starts using more CPU that's current host has it can draw another ESXi host CPU to deal with?

    A virtual machine can use CPU only from the host where the virtual machine works... There is no way to allocate CPU of multiple hosts to a single virtual machine.

    If I understand correctly, you want to upgrade the server vCenter Server to version 5.5 and want to know if the ESXi must be upgraded too.

    If you upgrade the server vCenter Server to version 5.5, then the server ESXi also need to be updated to the same version.

  • How can I change the license to another host?

    Hello

    I am replacing a host, but cannot change the license to the new host.

    The ability to change the license on the vCenter (administration, licenses, manage vsphere licenses) appears dimmed (unavailable).

    All the licenses that I own are associated with former guests. I can't add new hosts because all licenses associated with the former hosts. I removed the host the vCenter, but the license is always affected.

    How can I change the license of a former host (which no longer use) by the new host?

    Thank you!

    As mentioned earlier, it should actually take a few minutes, so with the two days, you've already waited, there seems to be something wrong. Please take a look at KB VMware: vCenter Server 6.0 incorrectly states the amount of licenses in use by the ESXi host to see if this helps you to identify/solve the problem. In the case where you don't consider opening a case of pension with VMware.

    Can I install a vCenter license-free in my lab ESXi?

    I have material available since I migrated to our company SAN ESXi and want to create a laboratory. I have a few questions:

    (1) can I install a vCenter license-free in my lab ESXi or am I can only use vSphere to connect to my ESXi 2 lab hosts?

    (2) create a cluster environment even if I use the free ESXi version to mimic my ESXi connected to a San company Production?

    Thank you.
