## Upgrade Existing VMware HCX

If Azure VMware Solution private cloud was deployed with HCX Advanced edition, you can can choose to upgrade to Enterprise with no additional cost through Azure Portal.

If you have a pre-existing VMware HCX Connector on-premises that is licensed for VMware HCX Advanced, please be sure to upgrade the connector to the Enterprise version. To upgrade VMware HCX navigate to the HCX Connector at https://<hcx_connector_fqdn>:9443, under the Configuration section select Licensing and Activation, edit the current license and enter the VMware HCX enterprise license key obtained from the Azure VMware Solution portal. Verify that the License is showing Enterprise.

Once you have updated the VMware HCX Connector, be sure to update/edit the VMware HCX Compute Profile and Service Mesh to include the updated VMware HCX services that you would like to take advantage of, such as Replicated Assisted vMotion and OS Assisted Migration.
