# com.vmware.license.HostLicenseEditionNotAllowedEvent

## Summary

Host license edition is not allowed.

## Causes

Edition of the license installed on the host is not compatible with the vCenter license edition. For example, vCenter Server uses the vCenter Server Standard license, and the host connected to this vCenter Server uses the vSphere Essentials license.

## Resolution

Install a compatible license on the host. For example, if vCenter Server uses the vCenter Server Standard license, install the vCenter Server Standard license on the host, too.
