Your ESXi includes ESXi 7.0.x & 6.7.x.Have a technical question? Just make a self post!ĭiscussion of piracy methods will not be permitted. You cannot apply the license to ESXi hosts that have more than 2 CPUsģ. You cannot split that licenses into ESXi hosts or cores You cannot split that license into ESXi + vCenter You only have 1 VMware Essential Plus License that allows 1x "active" vCenter (or VCSA) and up to 3x ESXi hosts each not more than 2 CPUs each.
BUT do not downgrade licenses if you have expired subscription as there is not guarantee that you may upgrade them ever again.Ģ. Please log into myVMware and register your VMware licenses to your VMware account (or use a generic company email so that the myVMware account is not tied to a user email, in case that person leaves). Which retailer is that ? Are they VMware Authorized or recommended by VMware ?ġ. Only VMware Std or Ent licenses can be split.but that usually requires vCenter license and the issue here is not only ESXi CPU licenses but also vCenter licenses if needed to split. Psynan only have VMware Essential Plus, its ONE license that supports up to 3 hosts (each host max of 2 CPUs).
It's very unfortunate VMWare stop supporting workstations with the version 7 :( So at least we'll have 3 for some other 6.7 ESXi. We also have some other workstations, maybe in the future, we might use some of them with 6.7. We just want to be able to use both machines one with 6 and the other with 7. We do not have an intention to make them in the same cluster. Yes, we have a license that supports up to 6 CPUs. Then downgrade one of the new 2 CPU licenses to 6.7 To fix this you need to SPLIT the license. If I understand your license situation correctly you have multiple CPU of 7. They could run in the same vcenter though This is supported, but I wouldn't put them in the same cluster.
But I'm not sure if I'm able to upgrade it again.ġ) Downgrade our license key to 6.7 from VMware customer connectĢ) Enter this key to the workstation's ESXi v 6.7 Our retailer has suggested that we should downgrade our license to 6.7. vCenter Server 7.0 cannot manage ESXi 6.0 or earlier hosts." "vCenter Server 7.0 can manage ESXi version 6.5 hosts in the same cluster with ESXi 7.0 hosts.
Here it's stated that vCenter 7 supports ESXi 6.7 and therefore we want to install vCenter 7 to our Dell Machine. So we want to utilize the most from our hardware and use both versions at the same time. We have a vSphere Essentials Plus 7 subscription from VMware. Unfortunately, the workstation's ethernet card is not supported on ESXi 7. A) One is Dell PowerEdge R540 (ESXi 7.02 installed)ī) A workstation with a motherboard Asus b-85 -plus.(ESXi 6.7 installed)
