License Manager Set License Edition

Deprecated as of vSphere API 4.0, use QueryAssignedLicenses instead.

Defines the product's license edition.

The edition defines which product license the server requires. This, in turn, determines the core set of functionality provided by the product and the additional features that can be licensed.

To determine what featureKey the current platform will accept, use querySourceAvailablity() at runtime, or consult the documentation for the current platform.
