Hot to use existing license for new VMware host ?

Thread needs solution

Hi there,

we are using one license for 2 VMware hosts.

Now one of the host has been replaced by a new machine.

In the [Manager License] Menu, i deleted the old host from that license

and tried to add the new one.

Importing the license key file results in an error, saying that the license already exists.

In fact i only need to attach the new VMware host to the existing license.

Where/How can i do that ?

Regards,

Gaston

Hi, you cannot use one license for 2 VMware hosts. In accrodance to our licensing policy, one license may be used to backup one (1) supported physical host server and up to an unlimited number of virtual machines on it: http://www.acronis.com/en-eu/company/licensing.html 

Even if you use single agent for VMware (Windows) to work with two VWmare hosts, you must have two licenses for each host.
