ESXi 4: it is free or not?

Hello

I downloaded the ISO 4 ESXi (VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 4.0.0 - 164009.x86_64.iso) and installed on our server.

When I connect through the vSphere Client, I get the warning: it is in trial mode for 60 days.

What does that mean?

I thought that ESXi 4.0 is free?

When I downloaded it, I got a serial number also since the download on VMware.com Page.

When I try to enter the Web Interface of ESXi it is said that this license key is not valid.

Someone at - it else having this problem?

It is free or not?

Thanks for your answers,

Bye,.

Fritz

They must have sent details of the license to your email ID to activate. I received the email of Activation of VMWare.

  • How to continue using ESXi 4.1 in free mode?

    Well, I need to know how to continue to use ESXi 4.1 in free mode.

    I installed ESXi 4.1 vSphere and installed time-limited evaluation license.

    Now that the trial license has expired, how to return to the free license?

    I tried this: go to license Features, Edit, then "Assign an existing license key for this host" and chose "evaluation Mode...". (Not LicenseKey) "but he said I'm not a license.

    So, how can I continue using ESXi 4.1 in free mode after the use of time-limited evaluation license that has now expired?

    A detailed explanation of a person who has really, actually used an evaluation license and has successfully passed regularly in fr. old mode under license will be more appropriate.

    Thanks in advance.

    Once you have taken of / found your license free key just use the console vsphere and go to configuration | license and enter the key.

  • Can we change ESXi host license license free licensed?

    We currently have two additional CPU of ESX license so that we can assign a new install ESXi host that is not connected to FC SAN.

    However, we would like to know because of the need, can change us the license assigned to the ESXi host under a free license, so that we can use it on another ESX or ESXi host?

    Thank you

    Yes, you can change any time, licenses you have is only the functionality.

    If you run virtual Center and you have a rich license feature and decided to change for free, save a single license, you could end up losing the functionality and the ability to power on if some vm of the vcpu exceed your new license mode.

    But tehcnically licenses you can change anytime, you could even remove a license and return to eval for 60 days.

  • Reclassification of ESXi 3.5 u4 free on USB to ESXi free 4.0 on USB

    Hi people:

    If I'm looking to upgrade ESXi 3.5 u4 free on a key USB to ESXi 4.0 is the process as simple as install ESXi 4.0 on a different USB via the Installer (I saw that he now allows to install directly on a USB key) and then restart with the new USB?  The new version will find all virtual machines and configuration data that is on the hard drive of the target system?  Obviously I would need to backup my VMs and other things in the data store, first of all, just in case something went wrong, but I wanted to check it would be the general way to do.  Also, I know that I have to re - enable SSH and copy on the SSH keys and others of version 3.5, but I was really interested whether the new version on a USB would be the store of data on hard drives without difficulty.  Finally, once done can I revert to the version 3.5 (by reversing the USB key), or version 4.0 makes a sort of changes in the data that are not compatible with 3.5 store?

    The data store will not be a problem, but the upgrade of equipment would be. If you do not convert to version 7 of material, you should be fine.

  • For my new iPod Keynote free or not?

    Hi, I am trying to get two files of keynote on an iPod that I just bought new at the Apple Store on June 7, 2016 (two days ago). I read this article(updated a few months ago) who says I can get free Keynote on my 16 GB iPod. But when I followed the instructions in this article and go find Keynote in the category 'Designed by Apple Applications' on my iPod, it is listed as $9.99. What gives? It is free or not? BTW, I 'm connected with my apple ID and I just did an update yesterday (for iOS 9.3.2). How do I can just download it as the article says? Thanks for the ideas you may have!

    Peter

    I actually bought the iPod on Monday (June 6). Friday today (June 10). The article still reads "If you bought a device with iOS 9 or later, it's 16 GB or smaller, or if you updated your device existing iOS 9 or later version, you can download applications for free.» Follow these steps... "But when I followed the steps, iTunes always said that these fee of $10.

  • 5.1 ESXi host is showing that does not

    Hi all

    We are to vCenter 5.5 with Environment 5.1 ESXi hosts. On one of our ESXi hosts, we sometimes get to see 5.1 ESXi, (build 799733) host is not responding and the virtual machines on this subject are displayed as status disconnected at the end of their names.

    When this happens, we are able to ping on the ESXi host and virtual machines are also able to ping / react to what is good, but he continues to be on different hosts at different times, all what I do when this occurs is to try to reconnect on the ESXi host and it connects fine and machines virtual hosting on she will return to the State normal and everything will be normal on this host. I want to understand why this is happening at different times and on different hosts of ESXi and ensure that this should not happen again in the future or find the before root cause is even worse.

    so, could someone please look at this and let me know where to start troubleshooting this to find the root cause.

    Thanks in advance

    Your vCenter and ESXi host is on the same subnet? In any case, I recommend you take a look at this article and apply the patch suggested: VMware KB: hosts ESXi and ESX disconnect randomly VMware vCenter Server

  • How to turn off ESXi 3.5 U4 (free edition) by script

    Hello

    We have two Dell 2950 III 2 running ESXi 3.5 U4 connected to two 2 APC switched PDU which is in turn connected to a 8 KVA APC UPS.  I followed the guide of William Lam using VIMA to stop the virtual machines and hosts http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9531 and discovered that it won't work with U4 http://communities.vmware.com/message/1213115#1213115

    My new plan is to install APC PCNS on virtual machines (7 on each host for a total of 14) so that the inverter can stop them gracefully in case of power failure.  The next step is to close the ESXi.  The RCLI can be used to stop the ESXi host?  It comes to the RCLI does not not for virtual machines with the free version or is - everything that concerns the RCLI, which no longer works?  The alternative would be to have one of the virtual machines, perhaps the same machine VIMA, run a script to close the outlets on the PDU which hosts are connected to.  I prefer the first option, but if it is not possible on the free version then it would be obligatory.  I hope that someone else has solved this problem before and can provide feedback.  Thanks for any help.

    Mac

    As stated in the thread you referenced, no vCLI/RCLI command will work requiring more read-only permissions, a stop at the host ESX (i) is considered to be a write operations and will not work. You can unlock the busybox does not support console and use SSH key pairs to initiate a stop, but you won't be able to do so via any vCLI or all VMware API through the read-only mode.

  • License problem ESXi 3.5 U4 - content license not valid

    I just installed ESXi 3.5 U4 on a Dell and a HP Server.  The two are running in evaluation mode and I try to enter the serial number, I got when I signed up for the free ESXi download, but I get an error that says "downloaded content license was not valid" when I select the serial number under license source in the VI client and enter the serial number provided.  I just created a new account vmware.com and re-recorded in order to obtain a different serial number, but it gives the same error.  The Web page that gives me the serial number indicates that it should work for ESXi 3.5 U2 or later version.  What gives?

    Back to your account on vmware.  Go to 'find serial number '.  Change the type of license to eval and see what series it lists.  Try it and make sure it matches what you had.

  • [Windows 7] Free or not, I'm really confused!

    This week i sent a few emails to hp with the question: is windows 7 free? the answer: nothing, not even 1 return E-mail.

    So I came here, the forum is still beter.

    I thought that I had to download it, because it is an action to get rid of vista, because he had so many bugs and it has just failed?

    I really want to know how and where to get the free version.

  • iMessage free or not?

    Is still free iMessage when I use more cell and data cell phones but overseas? (as on wifi and abroad?)

    Thank you for answer.

    iMessage is free as long as the person who deals with this issue is using WiFi.  That's all we can say in general.

    Yet once the iMessage user will not be charged until it uses WiFi.  There is saying anything here about the person at the other end to send/receive, or what happens if a cellular carrier is involved.

  • ModusLink Vista upgrade is free or not free?

    I just bought the laptop A100-906 with Windows XP Home Edition. I understand I can be upgraded to Windows Vista. And, as I understand it, for free.

    But while I visit the site Microsoft Upgrade that I saw a price of article 95, 47USD without shipping and handling for Grand Vista Home Premium.

    Am I have to pay, or I have to just make an order, send to [email protected] and Toshiba will pay?

    So, I want to say this upgrade is free or Toshiba gives just a discount?

    Hej,

    you are in the same situation, as if I were.

    1: updates are only free from XP PRO to Vista Business or XP MCE, Vista Home Premium.
    2: updates XP Home cost. Even from XP Home to Vista Home Basic, you will need to pay a lot.

    I ordered as you want to make Vista Home Premium for 98, xx. Right now I'm happy that I could cancel the order. I really advice you not to order through Moduslink. The company was founded just for the upgrade. You can hardly reach them by e-mail. The only thing that works is letter or by fax.

    And in the end: you get just an upgrade! So I kindly advice you don't not to order here. Instead, the order in your Favorites online shop a Windows Vista Home Premium SystemBuilder / OEM product. I ordered as well for 99,- so it is not even one Euro more then the upgrade. You get a full version and I got it in one day. I waited for more than 6 weeks and nothing happenend on ModusLink.

  • Why is free is not free?

    Whenever I have download an app that says it's free I ask me to verify my billing information and then I am charged. I thought free was free? Why is this happening?

    I want to download the new El Capitan, it is said that it is a free download, but once again, I check my billing information, so I am afraid that once again I'll be charged.

    Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
