Nice start!
Can´t log in to the portal. How do I enter the license key. Through the old fashion license server, or via a key?

You have to provide a key in the administration console. If you can’t login check in the event log if all the VMware services are started and that the windows server in part of a AD. The connection server may not be a domain controller!

Is the connection server a Domain controller? Because that isn’t allowed.
