Cannot restore to ESXi hosts

Thread needs solution

I have a machine that encountered hardware failure and I am wanting to bring it up as a VM so that I can retrieve a folder of data and/or have it as a test box.

However, whenever I start the recovery job, I get this error:

Failed to recover virtual machine 'SmaterMail-Recovery' with ID 'vm://host-28/6CA63644-67E8-0530-D3D2-747FA912A165?type%3dvmwesx'.

I have even removed the license from the license server and the host and then re-added them yesterday and still getting the same error. What am I missing or not doing correctly?

Attached is an image of my license screen for the license I am using.

Hello Wesley, According to the error message a license is lacking on the host. Can you please describe your environment and scenario in more details? How many hosts do you have? What is recovery source and destination? Thank you.
