meh, just dump it and get over it.
ESXi versions prior to 7.0.x can run for more than 60 days without a license.
ESXi versions from 7.0.x onwards need a licence if you want to run it past 60 days.
That plus the fact of the Kafkaesque situation of obtaining a license update on the Boredcom portal is a couple of red flags telling you to dump it for something else, as well as the poor QA test processes causing issues with critical VM's.
Surely nobody in their right mind would want to keep on restoring from backup or rebuilding a VM just because the hypervisor had a hissy fit and refuse to roll back (or do something) in order to fix an issue with an existing VM?
