The License services of VMware ESX and vCenter hosts ignored their levels and stayed OK no matter how many licenses were in use. This affected the default setting Go critical if all licenses are used as well as levels configured in the ruleset VMware licenses (Absolute levels for unused licenses and Percentual levels for unused licenses). This regression was introduced in Checkmk 2.5.0.

The configured levels are evaluated again. After the update, services whose licenses are used up, or whose unused licenses fall below your configured levels, change to WARN or CRIT.
