Steven,
I had this issue years and years ago with Vmware. I really hate these companies
that make licenses over complicated. The essentials if fine for now. I don't
think I'll need more than 3 servers. The extra server I was adding, is just a
small network appliance running a mikrotik CHR and a speedtest server. Not a
mission critical system, so no big deal if it is not linked into vCenter. Found
a stand alone license for it.
