Adding ESXi V5.5 to vSphere V5
I have VMWare box with ESX V5 and I have been managing a couple of hosts thru vSphere V 5.0.When I just tried to add a new Host w/ ESXi V5.5, I got an error "Disconnected" (please see the screenshots) and later on, the new host disappeared from vSphere Client.
Can you help?

"be warned Upgrades of vCenter 5.0 to vCenter 5.5, do go wrong! and the result is you will not be able to login to the new vCenter 5.5 server. " ---> I will uninstall existing vCenter V5 and install V5.5 then.
It's often the best method....

(1) Do I need to uninstall v5 and install V5.5?
(2) After installation of vCenter V5.5, do I enter the same license key (given when I purchased vCenter 5) in the vSphere client?
