VCF 9 Not able to assign a different VCF 9 Licenses to single vCenter in VCF Operations

Products

• VMware vSphere ESXi

Issue/Introduction

When assigning different license types to single vCenter from Broadcom Services Console(BSC), they are not able to be allocated to single vCenter in VCF 9 Operations

Environment

VCF 9.0.0

VCF 9.0.1

VCF 9.0.2

Cause

This a limitation currently present for the VCF 9.0.x version , and this restriction is lifted once you update to 9.1+

Ex: Attempting to allocate VCF 9 and VCF 9 Edge Core license that were assigned in the Broadcom Services Console(BSC), it will not give you the option to assign the Second licenses in VCF Operations License menu for the same vCenter

Resolution

Workaround would be to deploy new VCF 9 installation and add the new site to the Broadcom Services Console(BSC) in order to apply the alternate license from the VCF Operations License menu.
