Have you purchased and applied licenses?<br />

What does MyVMware state?

<div>
This license came from the VMUG Advantage program and doesn't show up on my.vmware.com account. &nbsp;Does that check mean anything then at this point?<br />

Hi David,<br />
<br />
That one is fine. &nbsp;Just wanted to confirm that the 2/5/19 date was a red herring. &nbsp;How does vSphere Server check license information?<br />
<br />

<div>
Sorry, meant to loop back and close this one. &nbsp;I'd misapplied the VMUG license on part of it. &nbsp;Sigh...<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
In the vSphere Web Client I'm getting a warning about a vCenter Server license expiration on 2/5/2019. &nbsp;It also has a link to click on to manage these licenses. &nbsp;When I click on that link, only one license is there, and the expiration date on that is 12/31/2019. &nbsp;??<br />
<br />
Am on the current (6.7?) version of the vCenter Server and have 2 host boxes on the same version.<br />

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.
