• VMware ESXi 5 licenses

  Hello

  I think I have too much choice, but someone who has more experience on ESXi 5 licenses might have a better deal...

  We have 2 locations for the moment, run 2 servers ESXi 5 the other branch done 3 of the same thing.

  Once more the RAM on certain hosts would be awesome, and of course Central magagment would be great.

  I found the key packs, like right now THAT HA no is not essential - VMware vSphere Essentials Kit would suffice - offers more RAM, centralized management, but only for 3 guests.

  Seems I need centralized management for multiple hosts I choose Standard Kit of acceleration? But in this case, Miss me the ability to upgrade RAM - or not with the terms in the Kit of Essentials and is also much more expensive...

  What seems the best offer price, buy two essential elements it's can I manage 5 hosts under the same server vCenter (guees not)?

  Could someone give advice on this issue?

  Kind regards

  ... where your I find some information?

  In the document of pricing and licenses white at http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_pricing.pdf (page 7)

  .. vCenter Server Standard begins from 6000 USD non-larger than 32 GB RAM... as well as other licenses...

  With the acceleration Standard Kit, you get an instance of vCenter Server Standard more processor Standard with 32GB vRAM right 8 licenses each (256 GB total) and you can add additional CPU if necessary licenses. (see page 8 in the same document as above)

• ESXi 6 license for ESXi 5

  Hello

  I have a Dell R510 I want to use as a VM host and so recorded for the free ESXi hypervisor and received a license key. However, this key is for v6 which is not supported on the R510.

  I downloaded a custom Dell ESXi 5.5 image and so would like to know if I can use the v6 for v5.5 license key. If this is not the case, how can I get a v5 license key?

  Thanks for your help.

  Hi RyanH84,

  You are right to say that I needed to register for v5.5. I contact VMware support who wrote:

  If I understand correctly, you need a license key for VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5.5.

  I wish to inform you that the license key can be obtained on the portal My of VMware "VMware vSphere Hypervisor Download Center" page. The default version for the hypervisor is Version 6.x.

  There is an option to choose the version of the hypervisor required on the upper left side of the page. I've attached a screenshot of the same thing for your reference.

  Please refer to the link below for more information on the download and licenses ESXi 5.x: http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2014574

  
  

  It was not quite so simple I had to connect to My VMware > go to all downloads > choose vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) > change to v5.5-v6 version > click on get a free trial. This time allows to register you and gives you the license key and download link.

  In any case, I now have the license key thank you for your help!

• ESXi Machine license, reusable House?

  Hey people.

  I'm having a devil of a time here, and I hope someone can point me in the right direction.  I recently updated my ESXi Server 4.1 here at home to 5.  The license I had to 4.1 was free, but of course does not include any medium for vMotion, etc..  She was approved for a stand-alone machine.

  Such a license is available for 5?  I can't downgrade to 4.1, so I'm a bit stuck here.

  Thank you!

• 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.

• VMware ESXi 4 license

  • VMware vSphere Client

  ========================

  But on the vsphere client, I receive the message "your evaluation license will expire in X days. I don't have a key that I applied when installing ESXi.

• Application of ESX or ESXi Standard license or vSphere new purchase

  Hello

  I read the following in another thread,

  "You can apply any license that you purchase, be it Standard/advanced/business/Business Plus or even packages for small businesses vSphere Essentials and Essentials Plus, ESX or ESXi. Both will give you the same features allowed when it is applied. »

  Once the license applies for example to ESX, does this mean I won't be able to change my mind at a later stage and move all my installations to ESXi?  Thanks for your replies.

  Best regards

  Robin

  You can't really "switch" from ESX to ESXi - you will need to reinstall the hypervisor. But you will be able to use the same license key for ESXi you used for ESX.

• ESXi "a license for 1 CPU?

  Hello

  I just activated my free ESXi license, and the status says "a license for 1 CPU. My server has two processors. This means a CPU is not used? Should I buy a license?

  Thanks in advance

  Without a doubt. ESX licenses are by physical socket, not by heart. If a singel socket dual core (quad core, hexacore) will appear as a single CPU.

  It is rather the confusion by using the term CPU, because it refers to physical CPU (aka socket) and logical CPU (aka core).

• Less expensive license for standalone ESXi

  Hello community,

  can't answer the simple question by myself. We have powerful stand-alone server with 1 virtual machine that requires 24 vCPUs. Unfortunately, ESXi free license has limitation of 8 vCPUs per VM.

  I was thinking about buying vSphere Essentials license, but in its technical specifications, I found the following statement "VMware vSphere virtual symmetric multiprocessing enables the use of ultrapowerful of VMs that have up to four virtual processors'. '"

  
  

  So, what are my options now?

  
  

  
  

  According to the properties of the PDF, it was created in June 2013, when vSphere version 5.1 was the current. The limits have been removed with vSphere 5.5 coming out in September. If you can safely trust the knowledge base.

• How to recover the license of discommissioned ESXi host?

  On the web, my understanding is that when we stop the host ESXi, the license will be available for the vcenter Server.  However, the license is not released.
