So today when I tried logging into our lab server running Essentials 5, I got a notice saying that our trial has expired. However when I connect directly to the server and not the vsphere VM I look at the license info and i see the License Key we bought Listed. When I go back to the order confirmation I see two keys, One for VMWare vsphere 5 Essentials for 1 processor 6 cpu's and one for VCenter Server 5 essentials. This lab machine is running the appliance, the second key is listed but when I go to put the first one in it won't take it, say's it's a downgrade. So I'm not sure what to do next here. This server is a 2 cpu with 10 cores each so I'm pretty sure I'm still good as far as that goes. So why won't it take my license or why is it showing expired?
