The VCSA uses several licensed services (vCenter Standard, vSAN, etc.). To list services: vcenter license key command line
Get-VMLicense | Select-Object Key, Name, Total, Used, @N="Expiration";E=$_.ExpirationDate # Replace with your actual license key $licenseKey
# Remove license from all entities Get-VMHost | Set-VMHost -License "None" # Remove the key from vCenter Remove-VMLicense -LicenseKey "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX" -Confirm:$false vcenter license key command line
