Convert Evaluation Virtual Center to a Full License

I have performed the process to license Virtual Center numerous times for customers but sometimes I forget the order. Here ya go…
  1. Copy the license key files into c:\program files\vmware\vmware license server\licenses
  2. Restart the VMWare License Server service
  3. From the Virtual Center Client, Administration Menu -> VirtualCenter Management Server Configuration
  4. From the License Server entry, choose the appropriate license server destination (this server by default)
  5. From the License Server entry, choose the appropriate type of VC Server (VC Server or VC Foundation Server)
  6. Click OK
