.In the License Keys section, update the red
fields with your license keys. Ensure the license key matches the product listed in
each row and that the license key is valid for the version of the product listed in
the
VMware

The license key audit during bring-up validates both the format of the key entered
and the validity of the key. During the bring-up process, you can
provide the following license keys:
- ESXi
- VMware vSAN
- vCenter Server
- NSX
The
ESXi
license key is the only mandatory
key. If the other license keys are left blank, then VMware Cloud Builder
applies a temporary
OEM license for VMware
vSAN
, vCenter
Server
, and NSX
. If you do not
enter license keys for these products, you will not be able to create or expand
VI workload domains.
