Issue	When trying to assign a license to a VxRail ESXi node the error 'The license capacity is insufficient' appears
Cause	VxRail node have 2 CPU's while vSphere license is for one CPU only. This issue is usually seen when the customer obtained vSphere licenses via Dell/DellEMC and received License Certificates from Dell/DellEMC with several keys (number of keys = number of CPU's on a node) for each VxRail node.
Resolution	Please combine vSphere licenses as described in the following VMware KB article - How to combine license keys in My VMware (2006973) Please combine licenses by the CPU quantity on each node.
