WSX 1.02 won't display console for VMs on licensed ESXi 5.1 free

Question

Testing with:
     ESX 5.1-799733 on machine named ESXI1, with license installed
     ESX 5.1-799733 on machine named ESXi2, with license installed
     VMware-WSX-1.0.2-928297.i386.bundle on Ubuntu 12.04 with Python 2.6 in a VM named WSX hosted on ESXi1
     VMware-WSX-Server-1.0.2-928297.msi on Windows 7 on a machine named desktop
When I attempt to access one of the VMs, the progress indicator is displayed, and nothing else happens.  I see this same behavior form both WSX servers, and when attempting to connect to a VM on either host.
When I remove the license on either host, and revert to evaluation mode, I can get the console of any VM.
I found another dicussion (2156382) for WSX 1.0.1.

Hi Scott,
Is this happening with just the Access logs? Or are you seeing it with all the logs, the Access, Errors and Audit?
Are the size of the log files increasing? If the log files aren't too large, are you able to open them up in a text editor such as Ultra Edit and verify that they are being updated and written to, as well as are visible that way?
Also in the past, the tail utility was bundled with
the NT/2000 versions of the Directory Server. It was
located in the bin directory. Can you use that , through a DOS prompt to tail the access logs to verify that they are being written to?
Have you tried removing the Access logs while the Server is stoppend and then start up the
DS recreate the Log file and see if that helps with the
issue? You'll want to verify on a test box that this
procedure of removing the Accesslogs, doesn't cause any problem.
