I like the variable moniker! Very catchy :)

Thanks, Forbes.

Forbes,
Try this:
$ForbesValue = ( $LicUse.ReservationInfo | Where {$_.Key -eq “esxFull”} ).State

Hi Hugo,
I’ve used the “$LicUse.sourceAvailable” value as it returns a simple boolean value, which I can use in your “Custom Fields” script. However I’m not sure if saying that the host can see the license server is the same as saying it is currently licensed.

Ideally I’d like to figure out how to suck the value of “State” for the “esxFull” Key, which comes from “$LicUse.ReservationInfo”.

This would output the following possible values: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.LicenseManager.ReservationInfo.State.html

However I’m not sure how to plug that into your script. I’ll let you know if I figure it out. Many thanks, Forbes.
