VMM 2.0 will not recognise license

Hi All,
We have a single licensed VMware ESX host in our VMM.
Downloaded and updated VMM from 1.11 to 2.0.
Updated the VMware Agent, reran Identification.
When I try and drill down to the Virtual Machines it tells me the VM Host has not been licensed.
If I look in the Manage Keys section of HPSIM, the key is there and laoded against that Server.
I removed 2.0, manually removed the agent and reinstalled 1.11. Everything back as they should be.
Re-tried the 2.0 upgrade, this time electing to upgrade the agents as part of the process. No change.
I've also manually restarted the agents (you cannot from HPSIM because it thinks they're unlicensed!) restarted HPSIM and VMM Services. Unregistered and re-registerd the agents.
Any help appreciated, at this point I'll need to revert to 1.11 as 2.0 will just not work for us.
I've also notified the local HP folk about this but not heard back yet.

It was SNMP.
The Host Server had its System Properties set to not use the Global Properties. And the System properties contained the default public and private community names which we do not use.
As soon as I changed it and reran the Identifcation it worked.
Odd that this didn't affect VMM 1.11.
