Attempting a backup of a VM results in the following error:
"'Hostname' is not licensed for the backup feature" (Replace 'Hostname' with the name of the host in vRanger environment')
A possible cause of this is that the host is not licensed, backups may have been running off a trial license that was previously installed, and this has expired. To verify if this is the case in vRanger, go to Tools | Options | Licensing | Product. The License type is Pro Backup Trial and remaining days is zero (as shown in the below diagram)
The solution here is to add a new license to vRanger, please see the following video which provides an overview of this:

When your host is licensed, the following should be seen in Tools | Options | Licensing | Product:
Currently Installed licenses will show either 'Pro Backup' or 'Standard Backup'.
In Tools | Options | Licensing |Virtual Machine Hosts, the host is available and you can tick or untick your hosts in inventory based on what your preferences are.
