ESXi 4.1: setting license via command line
Setting the license at the command line is done with the following command:
[cc lang="bash"]
vim-cmd vimsvc/license
[/cc]
If you run it you'll see that one of the options is to --set=string.
But if you run it like this:
[cc lang="bash"]
vim-cmd vimsvc/license --set=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXX11
[/cc]
You will get an error.
The right way to do it is:
[cc lang="bash"]
vim-cmd vimsvc/license --set XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXX11
[/cc]
Notice there is no '='. I would ask that someone please update the help message here.
You can run it again with the --show option and you'll see your license has been accepted :-)
