I'm working on getting a couple vCenter Servers connected via Linked Mode. I deployed 3 vCenter Servers in Evaluation Mode to be shipped to remote sites.
The main site has a vCenter Standard license. The other two sites will have vCenter Essentials licenses. When I try to activate the vCenter license for the Essentials sites, I get an downgrade error because Linked-Mode is in use (see screenshot).
The docs I looked at on the features support for vCenter said that all editions supported Linked-Mode. I'm not sure what I need to do to get this up and working (disable linked mode, and re-enable?).
