SOLVED
I cannot upgrade our OneView appliance which manages our Rack servers and our C7000 blades, because unless I am mistaken, the latest ONEVIEW versions do not support the C7000 Chassis and our BL460c.
So I deployed a new appliance in 8.7, then I wanted to move a server there that had an ilo OneView Advanced license.
I noticed that the new appliance did not take into account the Advance license, but just the license w/o ilo.
Is there a procedure to maintain the OneView Advance license?
I also tried to insert the license that I had retrieved using Powershell, but that was unsuccessful.
This is not a license that is part of an advanced license pool but rather a license that we purchased with the server.
Thank you for your help.
I am not familar with our license implementation; but you may want to investigate setting up an HPE OneView 8.0 appliance and use the "Server hardware migration" feature that will take care of license migration. Only 8.0 can "receive" a migrated server from 6.6; then you can upgrade that 8.0 through each subsequent milestone.

The license key string provided by the PowerShell Cmdlet Get-OVLicense is the actual license key you would use to add to an appliance. Do know that PowerShell will truncate the output, omitting characters. As Dan suggested, we introduced the ability to migrate supported servers from a 6.60 appliance to another appliance (starting with 7.0 through 8.0 and is no longer available in 8.1 and newer). This will also help migrate licenses for managed servers. I would explore the opportunity to use that feature if you are able to.
