![]() After you can upgrade the license from My VMware portal to 7.x version if your subscription is enabled or buy a new license. ![]() So the only things to take away are a) Apply Update 3 and b) Full Backup when switching vCS because it has a new ID thing. When you upgrade ESXi 6.5 or ESXi 6.7 hosts to ESXi 7.0 hosts, the hosts are in a 60-day evaluation mode period until you apply for the correct vSphere 7 licenses. Our Nightly jobs are setup as Reverse Incremental (we offload to tape and need full backups every day to be taken off-site). From what I gathered here, at that point because it is a new vCS I will need to do a full backup. When I switch my 3 hosts in Production to the new vCS, i'll need to update Veeam and point it to the new vCS 6 VM. For Veeam I have the 3 Host / 2 CPU license, it shouldn't be an issue because because we have our Production/DR site, we don't backup the DR so during my "test run" in DR Veeam won't be affected only when I move my Production hosts to the new vCS. Good point about licensing, VMware will give us 60 days to run in trial mode before I have to switch keys. We'll have 2 vCS servers running for a week or two. Because this is not going to be a in-place upgrade, the new vCS has its own SQL DB, etc. ![]() I am building a new vCS server because I need to change the underlying operating system as well so i'll have a new vCS 6 VM on Windows Server 2012 R2.
