  • 1.  move esxi 5.5 to new host without losing license

    Posted 4 days ago

    I will of course test, but looking to upgrade a few early 2000's era servers with some early to mid 2010 era servers

    Running esxi 5.5 quite happily.

    Think it is possible to (given potential hardware compatible issues) to move the disks running the host to new servers? (both new and old actually HP workstations).  

    Or can I export the licenses somehow?

    You can use the license key for the new hardware if you decommission the old one.
