no I have been using both for over a year then we lost a power and since then I can not lunch one host

licensed features says " IP..." (not found )
.191 is the vcenter where the license is but  i can not lunch the server as it says there are not insufficient licenses so I am in a loop
So Vcenter is on one of the VMs?
yes
can you rdp to it or open computer management?  Are all  VMware services started?
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
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
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.

I see

under license server -  IP of the server which is down (not found ) that is all I see
i am not sure what happend but now both hosts give me the same error with the license
got it working I had to call vmware support to get a new license
that would do it
