I have that option but the ports are grayed out - not editable.<br />
<br />
Is that affected by the licensing?

<div>
Even in a essentials licensed vcenter environment, you have the option to change the ports - assumed you are connected with full admin rights to your vcenter server.

No it's not affected by licensing.

Is it possible to change the https port for vCenter 5.0?<br />
<br />
The instance was installed with non-default ports, and then discovered that other software (vRanger backup) will *only* connect to vCenter on port 443.<br />
<br />
Tried running the installer over the top, but that only gives the option to add it to a linked mode config or uninstall. &nbsp;the vSphere client lets me *see* the ports, but not change them.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
