VMware ESX Server, 2.5.0, build-11548
VC V. 2.0.2 Build 50618
My present assignment is with some legacy equipment and versions.
When I add an esx host to vCenter (see versions above) - I don't get any options to add "add-on" licensing from vCenter. The 3.0.2 host works ok with a local host license and add-ons from vCenter. The 2.5.0 host has a host license configured. I assumed I could use a host license for the server and add vMotion, HA, & DRS as add-ons from vCenter. Selecting the 2.5 host in licensing tab doesn't activate "host configuration" link nor does it list licensing config below.
Also, if I just should not use vCenter 2.0.2 for esx 2.5.x hosts ... please chime in with reasons.
