Licensing vCenter 5.0 for ESX 3.5 Server update5

I'm about to upgrade my vCenter 2.5 to 5.0 on a 64-bit VM. For now, I leave my host to 3.5 update 5. When I install the license server, can I bring over the old file from my old server vcenter 2.5 license? Also, if I do a new install of 5.0 and point to my database server, I have to use the data for this upgrade migration tool?

Thank you

Yes, you will need the original from the old server vcenter licenses, or you can download them on the VMware license portal.

If you perform a new installation, Yes, you can use the data migration tool-

  • Existing licenses for esx 3.5 after upgrading vsphere vc

    Hi all

    I start to think to upgrade our infrastructure to vsphere, but I'm not not clear about the licensing. If I update our vc2.5 to vsphere, I understand that there is not real server as all its treaties by vsphere license, so what happens in esx 3.5 boxes after the vc upgrade.

    They drop mode 14 days as they would if they lose the connection to the license server, or server licenses always runs parallel to the authorization of vc and I just uninstall the license server when all hosts have been upgraded?

    Concerning

    Dale

    ESX 3.5 can still be managed by Virtual Center 4. Once you upgrade the ESX 3.5 servers to VSphere (ESX4), you will see that the licenses for the 3.5 servers are still there until the license server is still in existence.  As long as you have ESX 3.5 servers - even if they are managed by VC 4 you need the license server.  Until all 3.5 servers are upgraded to VSphere, you can not get rid of the license server.

    If you find this information useful or appropriate, please consider giving points.

  • Issue of license VCenter 4.1

    No doubt very basic question, but I have a four node cluster running ESX 3.5, managed by a VCenter 4.0 using the old system .lic.  I'm moving this cluster to a VCenter 4.1, which uses the new license key and I was wondering how to handle the transfer of licences to a .lic to a real vmware key I type?  The old cluster will remain in production because I have another cluster that needs to stay on this subject for now.

    On a related note, I have another race to vcenter 4.1 Foundation license, three host ESXi 4.1 management mode.  I have an old vcenter running the Enterprise version that performs a few different groups.  I want to gradually move off the former vcenter clusters to the new, but cannot do so until I get an enterprise for my new vcenter license as the Foundation to manage three hosts.  Once I've migrated all virtual machines off the old vcenter I can reuse this license of the company, but until I can do it is there a work around?  Additional guests can be used on the Vcenter Foundation for a certain period of time before they stop working?  Basically I was wondering how best to juggle the licensing vcenter foundation and the company.

    Thanks in advance?

    Hello edawg, you must maintain the license during your migration process server for esx 3.5 need this license server.

    In the website of vmware, you can access with the registered account and download the new license (if you care), and it should be applied in the new vcenter 4.1.

    Hope that I help you.

  • Change the path information for ESX ESXi hosts to access

    Hello all! I hope you guys can help me.

    I have about 47 hosts that I need to change it Round Robin storage path information. If I make the change in vCenter and restart the host it again changing fixed. So, I thought that I should change it to the level of the host through esxicli.

    I have about twice as many LUNS of the Hitachi SAN. I'd like to see if it is possible to make the change in all areas, in some way, or I need to make the change by host? Also, is there anything that I need to change sides San so that it works or not.

    I saw this VMware KB: modification of path information for ESX/ESXi hosts to access and assume that it is the best plan? But did not know of all put into custody, if necessary, that everyone ran to when doing this?

    You will need to make the change by the host and the KB you'll find is the right method.

  • VMware ESXi for ESX 4

    Hello

    Someone know if can I upgrade my ESX 3i (3.5.0) to VMware vSphere (ESX 4)?

    Thank you

    You can't spend of ESX ESXi... ESX to ESX and ESXi for ESXi only... At least, not as an 'upgrade '. Provided that your host is on the HCL for ESX/ESXi 4 (u1 as well), then you can install it. This will be a facility of cleaning/charges however, wiping the LUN which ESX is installed on.

    You might want to stay on ESXi however, given that ESX is pretty much going to end with the 4.x releases (at least this is what I mean)... The released product in 2011 only is not available in two flavors, just ESXi...

    The ESX CLI, consider using the device of vMA and element vSphere CLI on your vCenter Server installation. You can also install the PowerCLI element to win these CLI scripting options.

  • For ESX ESXi

    Hello

    Do you know if ESXi can be upgraded to ESX?

    We intend putting ESXi into production soon. Further along the line, we have the budget to go full blast with Vmotion, etc..  I want to just plan our options.

    ESXi is the free version, and when the license is purchased, it becomes ESX?  I know that under ESXi, you can perform vmotion, etc., but curious to know the path to upgrade to ESX.

    TIA,

    TNT

    It's really not an upgrade - they are essentially the same virtualization platform with the difference that Java_cat pointed ESX has a Service Console and ESXi does not work - when you purchase licenses for ESXi you provide features for managing ESXi with Virtual Center and are capable of HA, DRS and vmotion.

  • No sticker with the license number Windows XP for Toshiba NB100

    I lost the sticker with the license number Windows XP for Toshiba NB100. I have an invoice.
    How can I recover the license number?

    Licensed refused to support this topic.

    Hello

    You can't get the license number.
    First the sticker on the bottom of the unit has been a serial OEM key. This key cannot be used and would not work under Win XP installed system costs.

    The point is that Toshiba image which was preinstalled on this laptop has already been activated, which means that this key has been useless.

    I assume that you have not created a disk recovery Toshiba (or flash USB stick) in the past? Right?
    These records would be reinstall the image of Toshiba containing the active Win XP system.

    Well, usually it of possible to order this disc [here | http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx] but I think that would be more because of the age of the laptop.

    Solution: you have to buy Win XP with valid serial key.
