Unable to upgrade 8.x license to 9.x fails with "No data available to upgrade"

Products

• VMware vSphere ESXi

Issue/Introduction

When attempting to upgrade licenses in the Broadcom Support Portal from 8.x to 9.x it fails with the following error: 

Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 

Cause

There is no license key upgrade path for 9.x licenses in the Broadcom Portal. This is managed through a license file in the business console once VCF Operations is deployed. 

Resolution

Take a look at KB:  License Key Management for VMware Products and KB: Unable to license vCenter after upgrading to 9.0 for licensing procedures/processes for 9.x.
