Which two statements are true regarding upgrading from a Distributed vCenter Server 5.x to vCenter Server 6.x? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. vCenter Single Sign-on becomes part of the Platform Services Controller. C. The vCenter Server service is not migrated during the upgrade process. Upgrading from a Distributed vCenter Server 5.x to 6.x involves integrating vCenter Single Sign-On into the Platform Services Controller, and the vCenter Server service itself is typically a new deployment rather than a direct migration.

Why each option
Upgrading from a Distributed vCenter Server 5.x to 6.x involves integrating vCenter Single Sign-On into the Platform Services Controller, and the vCenter Server service itself is typically a new deployment rather than a direct migration.
In vCenter Server 6.x, vCenter Single Sign-On (SSO) is integrated into the Platform Services Controller (PSC), which is a key architectural change from vCenter 5.x where SSO was a standalone component.
The vCenter Inventory Service functionality was largely deprecated or integrated into the vCenter Server component itself in 6.x, not specifically absorbed into the Platform Services Controller.
When upgrading from vCenter Server 5.x to 6.x, especially in a distributed setup, a new vCenter Server 6.x instance is typically deployed, and its configuration and data are migrated. The original 5.x vCenter Server service binary is not directly upgraded in place to become the 6.x service.
While licensing is crucial, the vSphere License Service is a component of the Platform Services Controller in vCenter Server 6.x, so it is managed by the PSC rather than being a separate migration to the vCenter Server component itself.
