A VCF administrator needs to assign a new license key to an ESXi host in a cluster managed by SDDC Manager. The administrator wants to use an automated method that can be repeated for multiple hosts and integrated into a script. Which method should the administrator use?

Use the ESXi host's local CLI (esxcli) to set the license key.

Use the vSphere Client to assign the license key to the host.

Connect directly to the ESXi host's DCUI and enter the license key locally.

Use the SDDC Manager REST API to assign the license key to the host.

A VCF administrator is troubleshooting a license assignment failure for an ESXi host. The error log shows 'License key is not applicable to the requested component.' The administrator has confirmed the key is a valid vSphere Enterprise Plus key. The administrator also notices that the host is in a cluster that was recently created with a mix of older and newer ESXi versions. What should the administrator do next to isolate the root cause?

Re-enter the license key in the vSphere Client to see if the error persists.

Verify that the ESXi host is registered with the correct SDDC Manager instance.

Reboot the ESXi host to clear any temporary licensing state.

Check the ESXi host's version and compare it with the license key's supported versions.

What indicates that a license is active on a VCF component?

The license status shows 'Active' in the SDDC Manager UI

The component's logs show no errors

The component's configuration is unchanged

The component's performance improves

Before assigning a license key to a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) component, which prerequisite must be verified?

The SDDC Manager is connected to the internet for license validation

The component is running the latest available patch version

The license key is valid for the specific component and has sufficient capacity

The component is powered off to prevent configuration conflicts

After confirming the license key is valid, what should be checked next in the diagnostic process?

The network connectivity to VMware

The component's license capacity
