License error: 5 Diagnostic message: License file not found

[tscott2340]

I have a ESXi 4.1 installation and I'm trying to add licensing to it. We purchased vSphere 5 licensing because we are going to eventually upgrade. We were under the impression you can apply vSphere 5 licensing to vSphere 4..

Is this not the case?

Thanks

You cannot use vSphere 5 licenses for vSphere 4. To get the required licenses for vSphere 4 you need to downgrade your licenses (vCenter Server as well as the CPU licenses) in your My VMware portal. Don't worry, you can upgrade them later again, once you upgrade to vSphere 5.

I am also facing the same problem but I am not solved yet.
