A VCF administrator notices that the SDDC Manager UI is still accessible, but the 'Add Host' and 'Add Cluster' buttons are grayed out. The vCenter Server and ESXi hosts are all showing healthy status. The administrator checks the vCenter Server license and it shows a valid license with plenty of capacity. Which action should the administrator take FIRST to diagnose this issue?

Verify the ESXi host licenses are not in evaluation mode.

Check the license status of the VCF components within SDDC Manager, specifically the SDDC Manager license itself.

Restart the vCenter Server service to force a license re-sync with SDDC Manager.

Review the SDDC Manager audit logs for failed API calls to the vCenter Server.

An administrator has applied a new VCF license key in SDDC Manager. The UI still shows the license as 'Expired'. What is the MOST likely reason for this?

The license change is applied only to new workload domains, not the existing ones.

The new license key was not entered correctly, or it is not valid for the current VCF version.

The vCenter Server license also needs to be updated before the VCF license status changes.

The SDDC Manager appliance needs a reboot for the license change to take effect.

A VCF administrator needs to check the license status for a specific workload domain. They are unsure if the license is managed centrally or per-domain. Where should they look to find the license status for the workload domain?

On each ESXi host in the workload domain, check the license key via the DCUI.

In the vSphere Client, navigate to the workload domain's cluster and check the 'Licensing' tab.

In SDDC Manager, under the workload domain's details, check the license information section.

Check the My VMware portal for the workload domain's license key.

A VCF license has expired. Which impact is most likely to be observed on the VCF components?

All vCenter Server services will stop and become inaccessible.

The SDDC Manager will continue to function but may restrict certain lifecycle management operations.

The ESXi hosts will automatically enter maintenance mode.

All virtual machines will be powered off immediately.

An administrator has received a new VCF license key and needs to apply it to the environment. The administrator is logged in to the SDDC Manager UI. What is the correct next step?

Use the vSphere Client to apply the new key to each ESXi host.

SSH to the SDDC Manager appliance and edit the license configuration file.

Navigate to the vCenter Server's License menu and enter the new key.

Navigate to the License section in SDDC Manager and enter the new key.
