Description

Here i have written so far

serverVomi=connect.SmartConnect(host=ip,user='root',pwd=password)
content = serverVomi.RetrieveContent()
#Till here i can get license manager instance
content.licenseManager

But i am not sure how can i get to know if vcenter server and vSphere Enterprise license are expired or not.
If it is expired i want to get to know how can i add license to vCenter and individual host.
