Q. If I'm using vSphere Virtual Center but still have 3.5 ESX hosts, do I still need a License Server?

ESX 3.5 hosts still require access to a license server, which can be used by the vSphere Virtual Center by configuring the License Server option under Administration—Server Settings, as shown here.
