Hi,
I have been trying to migrate our existing BDE setup from a VMware Player setup to a server running ESXi 5.5. I can convert the VM using the standalone version VMware vCenter Converter and get the both the AES and CM vm's up and running without any problems, however I do have an issue when importing the license through WebLM. I get the following error
Error installing license. Host ID in license file does not match server hardware. Host ID in license file is 005056000003. Valid Host ID(s) for this server - [000C29AA9069]
Importing the license keys into the existing setup works fine, so it is not a problem with the keys, rather it would seem the conversion of the vm's to run in ESXi that causes the issue. I have also tried modifying the uuid.bios and uuid.location entries in the vmx file to match those in the original vm's to get ESXi to bring up the prompt asking whether I have moved or copied the vm. In that case I select that I have moved the vm.
Is there a way I can resolve this issue? I would prefer to migrate the BDE to our ESXi server because I need to free up the PC that is currently running on for another purpose.
Troy.
