Caused by: com.vmware.vim.binding.vmodl.fault.NotEnoughLicenses: License not available to perform the operation.

Cause

License Service in the vCenter is still not UP and RUNNING when Bringup is trying to make write operations which require a valid license

Resolution

This will be fixed in a later release.

To workaround this issue, please wait some time, approx 5 minutes, then retry.
