I just spun up a new vcenter for windows and I'm adding hosts.
One host is a new host and it's running ESX 6
Two hosts were pre-existing hosts running ESX 5.5
I thought I would spin up the new vcenter, add the new host, add the two older hosts. No so!
All hosts show disconnected and I have a licensing error that reads:
Host license edition is not compatible with the center server license edition
Here is my licensing breakdown:
New vcenter = V Mware v Center Server 6 Essentials
new host = V Mware v Sphere 6 Essentials
5.5 host 1 = V Mware v Sphere 5 Essentials
5.5 host 2 = V Mware v Sphere 5 Essentials
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I own every license they sell so I'm sure it's a matter of what license is applied where, but I am striking out with fixing this. Any help would be appreciated.
