Thank you so much for this! I thought I was going crazy when a recently rebooted ESX server wouldn’t Power On its VMs!

I’ve run into this issue as well – and have NOT updated to Update2 yet.
I used Update Manager to install only the critical updates on three of my ESX 3.5 Update1 machines and they all have this issue. So I still have the same licensing server and VC – that hasn’t been touched.

It seems that if your license server is still version 2.5, your 3.5U2 environment will be unaffected.
