You need to reinstall the hypervisor esxi?

Buongiorno,
ho ereditato un server con installato esxi 5.0 (free).
Vorrei renderlo licenziato con la versione essential per farlo basta inserire la licenza tramite vSphere Client -> configuration -> licensed features-'
Oppure necessita la reinstallazione dell'hypervisor esxi?
Grazie
Yes, if you will not use vCenter, here is the steps:
To license a standalone ESXi 5.x (vSphere Hypervisor):
If you will deploy vCenter, you can add licenses to vCenter, and once you add the ESXi host to vCenter you will be able to assign the Essentials license to the ESXi host.
Thanks for your help and information.
I hope not to go OT but voleco ask you if you espoerienza Veeam backup software, version Veeam Backup & Replication can be installed only on esxi fired (not free)
Thx
Veeam and other VM backup solutions need access to Storage APIs to backup the VMs, Storage API is available with at least Essential (paid) license.
Thx a lot for The informations
