I have a VMware cluster with vctr with 3 host in it.. I will be replacing the hardware with newer hardware.<br />
I have a problem logging into the current vctr, so my plan is to build a new vctr on one of the new host and then migrate the vms from the remaining older host before building their new hardware.<br />
My question is, will I be able to use the same serial numbers that are being used now by the old vctr and the old host onto the new host and vctr?

Can I reuse the license keys from vctr and host once I upgrade the new hardware?

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.
