ESxI license key where to enter

Hi
I'm having a problem entering my ESXI license key. I don't know where to enter it, can somebody please tell me where to enter it, I don't want to spend ages setting up VM's only to have it all stop working in 60 days!!!

Many Thanks

It's configuration > licensing within vsphere iirc

Thank you, I spent ages lookg for that. It's the first time I've used this bit of software, I feel so stupid not being able to find that.
Is there anything else worth knowing before I run into another wall lol.

Many Thanks

Ok next question (sorry I don't want to start a million new posts on here so I'll ask my questions here), set this up last night and ended up having a power cut last night aftre I went to bed so when I came down this morning I had no DNS or DHCP and had a job getting into esxi to boot up the Server 2008, how do I go about running a VM from the moment I boot the VM?

you mean get a vm to auto start after you power on the esxi host?

host configuration -> configuration -> virtual machine startup/shutdown

HOST -> Configuration -> Virtual Machine Startup/Shutdown on the left hand side about half way down.

Set which you want to auto-start and order etc in there.
