I am in the process of adding vm server with 2008R2 OS to VMWare vCenter Confiramtion Manager V5 (under adrministration -&gt; available machines) and for some reason when I'm about to license it, it gives me an error that I can't license it because it is read as &quot;unknown machine class' therefore unable to license. Any ideas? Thank you!

VMWare vCenter Confiramtion Manager V5

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.
