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 :-)
