Hi Eric, maybe you have a TierA license (up to six core) and the newly added server has more than 6 core per socket?

Eric, did you revoke the license from the old host in the License Information dialog?

Can you tell us what type of license you use? How many license units you have (socket, instances, etc.) and how many workloads you're trying to protect? Also, what product build you're currently at? Thanks!

Folks, this thread is from 2012, we don't even have tiers any longer ;) so I will rather lock this topic, please create a new one once you have support case ID. Thanks!
