I've been trying to upgrade my license from evaluation to the serial numbers I purchased through the vmware store. The servers have 2 physical cpus.
When I enter the serial numbers in the license source it disaplays a message saying evaluation features are being disabled and I will lose Consolidated Backups. No big deal.
I then try to change the settings for ESX server edition from unlicensed to standalone, but I keep getting the error message that there are not enough licenses to preform the operation.
I've been going the rounds with a support chat started over 1 week ago. I've reloaded the servers, updated to the latest versions, and applied the patch http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1003214 that was supposed to address this issue. Still no luck.
Anyone been able to get their serial numbers working for ESX 3i?
