License server ESXi change

Hello

I use a PowerCLI script to configure my ESXi servers immediately after deployment. This includes adding them to vCenter Server. I use the ESXi image provided by HP and the image is already licensed with the license of the free hypervisor.

This means that I can't add the ESXi server to vCenter as the license does not include the vpxa license.

I don't want to open the vSphere Client directly to the ESXi server and change the license before running the configuration script PowerCLI.

How can I change the license using PowerCLI license reconfigured to evaluation mode before adding the ESXi server to vCenter?

Thank you

/ Magnus

This should work for stand-alone esxi 5.0

    See you soon

    Maybe the lic file is old.

    Try to regenerate the file.

    Did you start with a host ESX 3.0? And then he move to 3.5?

  • Cannot Change The License server on server VC2.5

    Hi all

    I looked around these forums but couldn't find a solution for my prob.

    Our license server was wiped out by a member of our team at the time, but was replaced by another and all licenses we are reissued for the relevant esx servers.

    recently, we have added two new esx servers allowing it added ok.

    But when I try to add them to the VC, I said that there are not enough licenses available. I look on the license server and not lacking.

    some still study showed that the VC still points to the old license server (there is not) and not the new licenserver...

    I tried to change that [email protected] but the message warns me that there is no license no s on this server

    I telneted to the license server and can connect, and all the esx servers are picking up the license there from there.

    How can I get the Victoria Cross to licens to the new server?

    Restart your virtual Center service.  If there is a license on the vc server, the old server, make sure that all of these services are stopped.  You plug your ESX host directly, or pass vCenter to configure licensing it?

  • Different PC user name to the user license server names

    Hi all

    I encountered the problem that on some PCs running with a goal of training of RPF of generic user account, the License Manager will not grant one of my licenses in volume. How can I get LabVIEW to communicate with the license server with a different user name for the windows login name? I already tried tools--> user name, but it has not fixed the problem.

    I'm always under 8.2.1 on these computers.

    Concerning

    Oli

    Hi Oli,

    You have licenses based on the user or computer
    licenses? From your description, looks like you have several
    licenses based on users and multiple training computers where windows
    usernames are all identical. Is this correct? If that's the case then
    You should be able to grant a license in volume for this username but it
    you won't concede more than one license under the same name. Change
    LabVIEW settings will not solve this that this problem concerns more with Windows
    and VLM. To resolve this problem, you can either go in windows and create
    new usernames or you can call and we could you spent to get
    computer license and you should be good to go.

  • Weaning to a license server shutdown

    Hi all

    I need to take one of my devel completely off-grid system. I usually use a license on site for all products of NEITHER, but he will not be able to contact the license server. I remember there is a way to get or to generate a license for use offline file, I did a few years back. Can anyone tell me the correct procedure, thanks.

    PS: just upgraded to 2013sp2, where is the list of changes?

    Hello gdargaud,

    I think that what you are looking for is a disconnected license.

    Getting Started with NI VLM - create a disconnected license or at home

    Please contact your administrator for server on this subject, because he is the one who will be able to generate this for you.  In addition, your question is technically a volume license manager issue, then you might find more luck if you find that you have additional questions on the subject to the search on these forums.

  • ESXi 6 license for ESXi 5

    Hello

    I have a Dell R510 I want to use as a VM host and so recorded for the free ESXi hypervisor and received a license key. However, this key is for v6 which is not supported on the R510.

    I downloaded a custom Dell ESXi 5.5 image and so would like to know if I can use the v6 for v5.5 license key. If this is not the case, how can I get a v5 license key?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi RyanH84,

    You are right to say that I needed to register for v5.5. I contact VMware support who wrote:

    If I understand correctly, you need a license key for VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5.5.

    I wish to inform you that the license key can be obtained on the portal My of VMware "VMware vSphere Hypervisor Download Center" page. The default version for the hypervisor is Version 6.x.

    There is an option to choose the version of the hypervisor required on the upper left side of the page. I've attached a screenshot of the same thing for your reference.

    Please refer to the link below for more information on the download and licenses ESXi 5.x: http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2014574


    It was not quite so simple I had to connect to My VMware > go to all downloads > choose vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) > change to v5.5-v6 version > click on get a free trial. This time allows to register you and gives you the license key and download link.

    In any case, I now have the license key thank you for your help!

  • License Server Migration (update 3.5 to 4.1)

    Hello

    Like many, I plan my ESX 3.5 to ESXi 4.1 upgrade.  I'll probably have lots of questions until I'm ready to move forward.  This is my first, which seems to be a simple 1 but I just want to confirm.

    So until I am able to blow ESX 3.5 and install ESXi 4.1 on my hosts, I will need manage guests 3.5 4.1 vCenter Server.

    Currently my Virtual Center Server 2.5U6 is also my license server.  VSphere upgrade guide, I need to install the license server on a new machine and manually migrate the old server to the new license file.

    Not a big deal, but I was wondering:

    If I could just leave the license on the old server, Virtual Center 2.5 Server (with all other services VMware has is stopped and disabled) and point the new vCenter Server for that?

    or

    If it is preferable to install the 3.5 license server on the new vCenter Server, point to itself until I have all of my set hosts to level and can remove the installed 3.5 Server licenses and update licenses then?

    If I could just leave the license on the old server, Virtual Center 2.5 Server (with all other services VMware has is stopped and disabled) and point the new vCenter Server for that?

    or

    If it is preferable to install the 3.5 license server on the new vCenter Server, point to itself until I have all of my set hosts to level and can remove the installed 3.5 Server licenses and update licenses then?

    You can go both ways. I usually prefer the first to avoid the installation of the old license on the new vCenter Server Server server, but is not really a big difference. Simply enter the location of the 'old' license server in the new vCenter Server 4 (for example [email protected]) license tab. That's all.

  • License for SRM on D drive file will not be perceived by the license server

    Hello comrade VMers...

    One of our license server is not see the SRM license file. We dropped in the folder with all our other license files. We did the troubleshooting normal as, adding the license file with file license vmware tools, restart the license server service and restart the vmware virtual center server service.

    Does anyone know if the license server has a requirement on drive c for MRS?

    Thank you

    VIC

    If you use "VMware License Server Tools" and look at the "Services Config" tab, you can see 'Path to the license file"set to 'C:\Program VMware license Server\Licenses'. If this is the case, change the location to match the location of your SRM (and VC) licensing files and restart the service.

    When you look in the Administration/Licensing under Virtual Infrastructure Client tab, you should see "SRM" listed under the features under license.

  • Virtual Server Center down and as its also the license server, it cannot start

    I have the virtual center server which is also the license as a virtual machine server. We had problems with the SAN today and decided to move this server to local storage in the case of other issues during the weekend, until we can diagnose/solve the problems of SAN. However, it will not start back up to stop the virtual machine to move (no installation storage vmotion again) and complains that cannot see the license server, the license server's so how can we start it?

    I tested stop this server before and to work around the problem, then we have just activated evaluation mode, the server restarted, and he returned to the license server mode when it was high, but he used to do that now and I can not start any vm at all and since most of them failed because of problems with SAN storage I need to get this resolved as soon as possible. The difference between when we tested before and now 4 months and update 3 has been applied recently.

    How do I start the server in its current or is configuration - it is no longer possible to use the evaluation mode and we do the licensing of other words, IE non-virtual?

    ......

    I managed to start the server using VM Player running in another physical server, but this is not an ideal long-term solution, but out me an affair until we solve this problem.

    Many people run in this mode.

    As a backup, just getting up an another license server using your existing key.  Point the ESX host with virtual machine on it to the 'temp' license server by connecting to the host ESX directly with the VI Client.

    Back up the virtual machine.

    Change license server address that you modified on the back of ESX host.

  • LabVIEW / TestStand ignores license server settings

    Hello

    I see a rather odd behavior on my computer. We received a new license file to our license server. Once it has been imported, TestStand and LabVIEW used of temporary licenses... I ignored it for a day, but became suspicious.

    The Manager of License tool on my computer detects only the license server and properly displays the access rights for my Suite of Dev (incl. Automated test). LabVIEW and TestSTand can check a property...

    Instead, I get the error message

    LabVIEW development system

    License attempt 1:
    All the available licenses on 'xxx' are currently extracted. (NILM13)
    If you have any questions, contact your license administrator.

    Shows available licenses however License Manager. I already tried to reinstall software of NOR (took awhile...) manually remove, add license server information. I'm getting a little desperate / annoyed.

    Any ideas?

    See you soon

    Fixed a problem.

    After the stop & a few reboots of license server, my license works again.

    Seems, it was a "personal matter" between me a license, since only my license server refused to work...

  • Server 2012r2 changes the time for a few seconds, then changes back

    I have a windows 2012r2 server that points to our DC for NTP, the domain controller points to time.windows.com. Every 2 months or more, the 2012r2 server will change its time 4 hours back (5 if we're on DST) then a few seconds later, it will change to the correct time.

    The domain controller never changes time. This time change blocks processes sometimes and they don't come until I manually restart them.

  • I have a ts 2008 license server with 90 per available user licenses (21 already issed). However, users get a message that says that there are no licenses available

    I have a ts 2008 license server with 90 per available user licenses (21 already issed). However, users get a message that says that there are no available licenses. The TS are iss device by installing licenses. Local group policy is not configured on each ts. The strange thing is that I can't find the option to license type within the domain group strategy, however, I suspect that this is the problem as when I go through the configuration in the RD Licensing Manager system indicates that the license server will be able to issue per user Cal. If anyone has had / overcome this problem I would be very gratefull to know the solution. Best regards Steve
