Shut down all the workloads on my ESXi 6.0 host and perform an in-place upgrade to ESXi 7.0. The missing information causes the Platform Services Client to fail to start and the vCenter Server installer aborts after the service fails. Remove all my current hosts from the vCenter 6.5 inventory. It would appear that certain licensing information was added to the nf file, but is not updated by the installer if the file already exists. Enter the current vCenter Server 6.5 SSO credentials and you can choose the same for vCenter Server and click Next. The vCenter Server 6.7 Installer will open in a separate window, select vCenter Server Windows and click Next. No files needed to be altered to allow normal upgrade once the issue on the PSC is corrected. Ensure vCenter Server for Windows is selected and click Install. If you’re running an external PSC as I was, no changes were required to the vCenter Server system after the PSC is successfully upgraded. The installer will replace the file we removed with an updated copy.
