VMWare SRM – When trying to protect a VM – There are not enough licenses installed to perform the operation
So there were plenty of licenses, what else can be wrong?
Within the log files @ C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager\Logs I saw the following:
2016-04-06T15:38:31.479-05:00 [09472 warning ‘Licensing’] Unable to decode license ”: INVALID_SERIAL
2016-04-06T15:38:31.480-05:00 [07916 info ‘Licensing’] Initializing with license key:

In the web client under home > licensing > solutions I found something that didn’t exactly refer to SRM but I assigned the SRM key to it anyways. After assigning this key the problem was resolved.
