4 of ESX license request

Hello

Recently, I have been trialing 4 ESX and Virtual Center and the trial period expired before I had finished stable. I don't have the characteristics of vCenter to complete the test so I tried to enter a license key for the free version of ESXi on hosts. It worked and I found myself with ESX 4 (service console) running on a free ESXi license key, only the ESXi features were available. It was only a test, but just curious to know if this is supported, running ESX 4 with free ESXi 4 license key.

It is not supported.  This license for ESXi is only meant to be used for ESXi and ESX.  The fact that it works is not all that surprising, but the EULA should restrict yourself to just ESXi.

Look in the vSphere Essentials bundles - they are very affordable if you are a beginner with vSphere.

    If you need extended evaluation licenses to have more time for normal commercial licensing - just ask a representative from VMware. I had no problem with that.

    If you already have a professional license, they won't expire. VI licenses are permanent, single period of support may end, but this will not affect any of your VI.

  • 3.5 to 5.0 ESX license question

    Hi people,

    First of all I apologize for asking a question that is probably buried in a document from somewhere. I'm just my feet wet with VMware and my search-fu skills are still weak in the world of the VM.

    In any case, I'm going to spend a few 2003 VM ESX 3.5 on a our new vCenter infrastructure using the migration tool, (which is a huge help also). Use of the VM 3.5 a license server dedicated, who retired as well as the older ESX servers. So my question is I meet any license "traps" when I start to raise the newly converted virtual machine? I hope that they will at request of licenses for vCenter 5 but I know that licenses are managed differently now. Will it move all files from the old license server and plug them vCenter?

    Other pitfalls I should be aware? I decided to skip the SYSPREP files until I get a better handle on this process. Thanks in advance!

    If your just bring for guests, there will be no license problems.  Licenses are applied to the ESXi host, not the guests.  Ask you manage 3.5 hosts in vCenter5?

    Don't forget, to leave the vHardware for the VI3 guests at 4.  When the conversion is completed, upgrade the VMware first, and then the virtual hardware tools.

  • ESX license policy: free evaluation version, multi core,.

    What happens when vsphere standard license is applied on a 2 p (8 cores per processor) AMD server host? This means that any guest THAT VM can be configured up to 6 VCPUs only?

    or is it causes any violation of license?

    Finally is a real free version of ESX, ESXi, which could be used up to 6-cores? Similar to the free 1 year of Citrix XenServer license that can be requested again when it expires

    "VMware ESX is free for up to 6 cores per processor only.

    "Version of Vsphere Advanced is required for 12 processor cores"

    Thanks in advance.

    jmsge wrote:

    It means, with the 'standard' license (up to 6-cores) we can only configure a VM with 4 vCPU.

    Yes

    In a way VMware licenses has nothing to do with cores/processors available on the host hardware, but only the ability to configure to prompt vCPU?

    No, it's both.  Company like can see beyond the 6 cores per physical processor and allow up to 8vCPU per guest.  See the link I posted above

  • Reassign the crash of post ESX license

    Hello...

    I am facing a problem! I installed 3 HP DL - 380 7 (double take) with ESXi 4.1. I installed a vCenter server, installed my license file (ordered for 8 servers) and said my ESX 3.

    Then I had a problem & reinstalled my ESX servers, from scratch... I forgot to leberate licenses!

    So after reinstalling my 3 servers, I have only 4 CPU on the left instead of 10! & I can't find where is the option for 'invisible' ESX unregistered

    Could someone help me on this matter?

    Thank you!

    Simply remove the license and again reinstall the same license. The "assessment" to the ESX host fresh installed license, you can assign temporary before removing the license file.

  • Host esx license problem substituting

    Hi all

    I have a problem when I try to replace it by an esx host.

    We have a total of 20 under license issued, 19 in use (9 esx host have 2 cpu, 1 esx host has 1 cpu).

    To add a new host esx (I'll call esx11), I had to unplug and remove a host of VIC (I'll call esx01).

    The result is that esx11 is "unlicensed" and if I make a 'survey of status' using license server tools (FYI License Server is installed on Virtual Center), it always reports as licensed hospitality that I disconnected (esx01).

    Any ideas?

    Thank you in advance.

    PIO Massaro

    just because you disconnect will not remove the license.  You must go to the ESX host, under the configuration tab and the features under license.  Change your license source.

  • ESX LICENSE

    I'll to demote an old ESX Server and then add a newer version in its place. What is the eaisest way to remove the old server ESX cluster so that the license it has currently allocated is returned and is available to be reallocated to ESX server latest?

    Thank you

    If you wish to no longer use this host that you want to revoke his license, first migrate all VM on one or several hosts, put it in maintenance mode, go to the Configuration of the host tab, then features under license, change of the source of the evaluation license, then delete your instance of vCenter.  All licences should be returned to the pool

    In addition, check your ESX Server Edition, you can also change the to without license.

    who should do well enough.

    Without the SSEC, the SRI 3945 supports 255 IPSec tunnel. If you add SSEC, it can scale up to 2000 IPSec tunnel.

    Now, if you see the IPSec Session lower output: 212 active, max 6399, & number of tunnels max 225 Watch therefore for mentioned above new rays will be HSEC license is requires (because it things IPSEC 2 sessions and active tunnels)

    What are the steps of a license a 5 ESXi host with Windows Server, Enterprise edition or Datacenter Edition.

    Like where we put this license key so that I can create unlimited windows VMS if I bought the Datacenter edition. I'm bit confused about licenses.

    Help, please.

    Ok. u mean every time to create the model that I have to manually assign a license by going to the virtual machine or a virtual machine regardless of clone...

    Yes, each instance of Windows must be allowed. If you can use the same key, you need to turn on the Windows license depends on the type of license that you get (retail, Open, Volume, company...).

    Sorry, but I don't understand the second question. Can you please clarify this?
