ESX 3.5 license! Is it really FREE?

I downloaded and installed the FREE ESXi 3.5. Even after registering the serial number that was sent to me, why it displays "VMware ESX Server 3i, assessment XX day (s) remaining" in the summary of the host. Help, please? If this product is not really free maybe I shouldn't invest too much time in it. Thank you!!

Open the client infrastructure can

Goto the config tab

Features licensed

modify, and then select use serial and find your serial number (I don't remember, but you may need to remove the dash

  • ESX 3.5 licenses during the upgrade to vSphere

    Hello all I hope someone can help me with a question of license.

    Is there a way I can tell when my host ESX 3.5 license expires without a license server?

    Can I take one of my vCenter 4.0 licenses and create the ESX 3.5 license file?

    Or do I have to rebuild a license server to connect my ESX 3.5 hosts to? Is this really a machine virtual?

    If it's important, I hope that all of my hosts built on ESXi 4.0 before the end of July.

    Thanks for the help,

    You have a period of 14 days in which to run without a license server.  After 14 days (power on VMs) features become unavailable.  My recommendations:

    1. determine what day the license server was decommissioned.

    2 see/var/log/vmkernel, logs files on the ESX servers to identify the first message about available license server.

    3 project 14 days from the date of license server is deleted.

    If you decide to try to beat the clock, doing nothing.  If you decide to license flex server backup steps below:

    4 Alter the DNS name of the license server (ESX 3.5 servers point to licenses) to your new Server 4.0 vCenter.

    5. install the flex on your server vCenter 4.0 License Manager.

    6. make sure that ESX 3.5 servers are now allowed.

    7. remove the flex License Manager when the ESX 3.5 servers have disappeared.

  • How do I find/download a map its REALLY free for my laptop HP Pavilion 5000? Thanx, _ @_. ___

    How do I find/download a map its REALLY free for my laptop HP Pavilion 5000?  Thanx, * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    A sound card is a physical piece of hardware, and therefore can not be downloaded. I guess you mean the driver for the sound card.

    There are a lot of HP Pavilion 5000 variations on the HP website, so I can't give you an exact link to your drivers. The best I can do is point you here:

    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html .

    You must then enter your exact model No. and the Windows version * and it will take you to all the drivers available. You can then download and install them. They will be free.

    * Make sure that you choose the drivers 32 or 64-bit according to your version of Windows.

    (To find out if you are running 32 or 64-Bit Windows click:)

    Start-> Control Panel-> system

    Then look at where it says, "System Type")

  • VMRC requires the license for use or free

    is that the VMware Remote Console tool requires the license for use or free? Thank you very much...

    In my view, it is covered by the vCenter license. As long as you have licensed vCenter (as far as I know on any edition), then you can use VMRC to any number of users.

  • vCenter not recognizing ESX 4.1 license key

    Our evaluation license missed yesterday so I got a free license key and update of the key on the host through the vShpere Client and the host says now that it's a license and expiration date '' never. '' But when trying to connect to vCenter Server with the vSphere Client and try to reconnect the host that it always comes up with the error "the license for Mode of assessment attributed to the host [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] has expired. Recommend updating of the license".

    We have tried until now to restart the server machine vCentre, stopping all virtual machines and esx host, but still vCentre computer restart does not recognize that the license has been updated.

    I've seen other people on the forums here with similar problems, but they seemed to all have changed the time on the host and it is while the error expired began to happen to them.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried to remove the host from inventory and add it again to vCenter?

  • ESX 4; evaluation license; HA does not

    Hello community VMware,

    I'm testing the new ESX 4 and demeanour HA (2 node cluster). I have trouble with vmware HA - VM not to switch (failover) to another ESX server in a cluster.

    My environment:

    hostA, hostB: 2 x ProLiant DL580 G5, each with Xeon of Intel (r) CPU X 7460 @ 2 .66GHz with 32 GB of ram

    1 x storage - HP shared EVA - two servers see this shared storage

    customer: 1 x (installed on vSphere) (client) standalone windows machine

    ESX 4 - evaluation version (on the way business licenses)

    3 servers are on the same NWs I use vSpehre on the client in order to manage the two ESX servers.  I clustered them (HA has been configured, the default values have been assigned). I have two test VMs (windows 2003) within the cluster. I tested VMotion - perfectly worked - I was able to move virtual machines from hostA to host b, and vice versa.

    Problem is that when I reboot hostA or host b (in order to test the failover) - no failover occurs. I see hostA in State "not responding", VM is in the disconnected state.  First time I tried this (after cluster configuration), I had no errors on the console. Second time I tried this I got an error of not enough resources to satisfy HA failover. I checked the HA configuration:

    The current failover capacity: 1

    Configured with failover capacity: 1

    Machine VM has only 1024 MB configured (not set limits) and it is located on the shared storage (lun 20GB, 5 GB is allocated for the system).  I've tried several things (reconfigure cluster again, clear admission control, registered between ESX/vShpere DNS, checked if I have a VMware HA between the characteristics of the license,...) - nothing helped.

    I am King of stuck here and you would be grateful and tricks that I missed (probably).

    Thank you!

    I am genius, and we have identified a problem. I would like to

    confirm that the problem is that you are

    experience.

    If the management of the network (Service Console on ESX, Case Management

    checked for port on ESXi group) is located on a public network, and there is no

    another network console or management service on a private network, it

    can lead to a false conclusion that the failed node is always online.

    prevent a tip-over.

    Please let me know if this matches your configuration. If so, a

    workaround would be to set a private network for management.

    A KB article addressiing this issue is in preparation.

    Feel free to write me with any questions.

  • Creative Cloud license paid, but as free watch

    Hello

    I bought my creative license cloud of 12 months on June 2015.

    But my account (< deleted by the moderator >) Watch always as 'free membership of creative cloud' to date.

    Screen Shot 2015-10-14 at 10.46.47 AM.png

    When I tried to install apps from creative cloud with my account, it shows I'm in trial period.

    I bought previously also the other 12 month subscription to my account (< deleted by the moderator >) and it must have demonstrated "creative cloud membership (one year prepaid)".

    Screen Shot 2015-10-14 at 10.48.22 AM.png

    I contacted customer support via chat twice and they confirmed that I indeed made the payment on June 2015 (I always kept the State Bill and credit card). Was told that the technical team will fix me in 2-3 days, but I still receive an email to tell me the correction.

    If anyone in this community may be able to help me solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

  • ESX 3.5 license NOW QUESTION Please HELP!

    After the bottom of 4 ESX 3.5 are connected to the ESX VC server on the host. After reboot ESX * do not start going that no licens is on this host running VC server. So I can not start server VC. I think that all licenses filen is based on

    the VC server.

    Help, please!

    Unfortunately, ESX 3.5 uses a license server that is installed on the server vCenter Server. In order to avoid the question, you are probably experiencing there is a period of 14 days, which however does not always work as expected. What you need to do in this case, is to generate a "hosted" the portal of My VMware license (I hope, it's still possible) to the ESX host on which vCenter Server is currently registered. After assigning the license to the host you should be able to turn to vCenter again.

  • ESX 4 and licenses

    Hi all

    For the moment we have 3 servers ESX 4.0 and they server clustering about 15 virtual machines, we'll add another ESX Server that is version 4.1. I wonder are they always achievable on clustering?

    Second where can we get / buy a license for vmware ESX?

    Thirdly, where can we get taken in charge with authorized servers? or to buy some sort of helpline?

    Kind regards

    (1) Yes, you can group 4.0 and 4.1.  Better to get on level 4.1 if you can.

    (2) from VMware directly, your favorite partner or provider server preferred.

    (3) Yes, you must purchase contracts of service and support.  Again, you can get it from the same place you get the license.

  • Conversion from ESX to ESXi licenses

    Is it possible to use a license ESX to ESXi Server?  If this is not the case, what is involved in the conversion of an ESX license to an ESXi license?

    Thank you

    There is no difference in licensing.  The license number is issued for vSphere, and you can use with ESXi or ESX.

  • Problems with ESX VSphere Enterprise license more

    Hi, I have a host ESX 4.0 with 2 processor that is running under eval. I bought 2 x 1 processor license (I'm told that you can not buy a 1 x processor 2 licenses, you must purchase a separate license for each processor).

    I downloaded the keys, but when I entered I get the error "the entered license key doesn't have a capacity of this entity).

    I'm guessing it's because vSphere knows the host with two processors, but I can get only one key at a time by the processor he does like this?

    Hi Matt,

    If you have two keys, you should be able to combine your licenses in a single key. Go to the website of VMware license portal web and generate your new key.

    It will be useful.
