  • 1.  Problem adding a license

    Posted Nov 21, 2023 11:08 AM

    Hello everybody,

    I'm currently using a vSphere client with two hosts in evaluation mode. Recently, I purchased a VMware vSphere 8 Essentials kit license for my vCenter and both hosts.

    I successfully added and assigned the license to the vCenter without any issues.

    However, when attempting to apply the license to the hosts, I encountered an error message stating:

    "License is not compatible because the actual license (eval) is using vSphere vMotion."

    I'm aware that the license I purchased does not include vSphere vMotion, and I don't intend to utilize it. Could you please guide me on how to assign the purchased license to the hosts despite this error?

    Thank you.

    Best regards,

    Well, start by following the suggestion you already received in the context of another forum.
