ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
So Vcenter is on one of the VMs?
ASKER
yes
can you rdp to it or open computer management? Are all VMware services started?
ASKER
the server is down and I can not bring it up as it gives me the license error posted above
Bring it up on the first Host that is working. Once it is fully up, see if you are still getting the licensing error
ASKER
how can i move from one host to the other host ? I do not have migrate option on the host.
Also, what version of VMware are you running
ASKER
ESX 3.5
you would have to import it into the other host(if it has access to that datastore), but forget about that for a second. Checkout some of these links
I am confused about what you saw on your license tab. If you click on ythe licensed features, then click on edit, what do you see?
Also did you try the link above?
And here is one more link.

ASKER
