• ESXi 5.1.0 adding new license

  Hello

  I installed vmware ESXi 5.1.0 with free license last year. And today a new license of vSphere Essentials 6.

  Now, I want to add new license to esx, but it gives me

  License downgrade WARNING

  Some features will be unavailable after the transfer of license

  Host: my host name

  from: unlimited

  to: unlicensed

  The following features will be unavailable

  * Up to 32 GB of memory

  * Up to 8-way SMP

  Caveat. is this normal? I would add new license without no problem safely? And now I can't add 192 GB of memory without limits?

  Thank you

  If you need to keep up with the 5.x version and not upgrade to version 6, you have you downgrade the v6 license key because it does not work with v5.x Setup.

  See VMware KB: how to move license keys in my VMware for more information on decommissioning in MyVMWare.

  That's why you get the ' to: without a license "message, because the key to the v6 is not valid in v5.

• Is my Windows my product key license? Also, if I want to download the iso of Windows 7 yes I need to buy a license/product key of Windows 7?

  Is my Windows my product key license? Also, if I want to download the iso of Windows 7 yes I need to buy a license/product key of Windows 7? Or my Windows 10 will work?

  Your license is the product key.

  You don't need to buy a license if you already have a product key.

  Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:

• Mobile 5.1 ESXi host in vCenter unpublished 6 - license?

  Hi all -

  If I take an ESXi host 5.1, previously managed (under license) via a given vCenter (also v5.1) and its key in the inventory management, then I disconnect/remove this host from the vCenter 5.1 and connect it to a completely new vCenter, what happens to the host of license?

  It disappear and become a 60-day eval, or his license key moves WITH the host in the new vCenter?  (The new vCenter in this scenario would have absolutely zero license keys from host ESXi that apply to guests of ESXi 5.1 existing installs below)

  I was wondering what 'happens' in this scenario I have the document our so-called steps for migration.  Yes, I know that this could / should all be tested "in the lab" but don't get started me on that.  Thanks for any comments on what I can expect.

  My best guess is that the host will LOSE its license now, it becomes a 'standalone' ESXi host when disconnected and removed from the old vCenter (via the "Delete" command).  I want to just make sure that it is also fully functional, if she has run VMs on it at the time or not (although Yes, I'll put it in maintenance mode before removing the old VirtualCenter and join a new).

  And Yes, of course I have old games of the existing environment 5.1 ESXi license keys.  I'm just trying to set expectations as to what is happening in licenses-wise once I move the host from the old to the new vCenter.  I have all pretty well understood technical pieces, including AVS and DVS network considerations.  Thank you.

• esxi 3.5 and 4.1 license

  Hello

  I know the question is weird, but I would like to have an answer...

  A person said he used ESXi 3.5 (which is known as 32-bit only) license for ESXi 4.1 using the license key of the old machine 3.5.

  I say it's a bull... and that it is impossible in my view.

  Is there a chance that it is possible to use a license key:

  1. from the old version (3.5)

  2 32-bit key for the 64 bit version.

  I left that is not truth and he could use only 4.1 license key for version 4.1.

  THX.

  Hello.

  No, the format of keys is different between the versions.  You can also read to http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/upgrade-center/licensing.html, "your existing VMware Infrastructure 3.x licenses will not work on VMware ESX 4 or VMware vCenter Server 4."

  Good luck!

• Retrieves the windows key / license key

  Hello

  I've lost my windows key which is an authorized copy, I wanted it back.
  What should I do?
  my system info:
  Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit
  product ID:-00359-OEM-8992687-00016
  Please help to recover my key. My windows is activated and genuine.

  Where to find your product key:

  You can identify the edition on COA sticker on your machine, at the top/side or bottom compartment or battery (laptop) if it's a desktop computer.

  COA certificate of authenticity:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/howtotell/content.aspx?PG=COA

  What is the certificate of authenticity for Windows?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-the-Windows-certificate-of-authenticity

  Other options:

  Option 1:

  If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

  Option 2:

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

  Option 3:

  If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

• VMs migration from one to another on ESXi 5.1 data store (free license)

  I'm under ESXi in my lab (for the Cisco voice servers and a few Windows virtual machines). Virtual machines are on a datastore iSCSI hosted by a Netgear ReadyNAS Pro Business. Due to major problems with iSCSI on the ReadyNAS platform and the inability of Netgear to resolve problems (blocking NAS requiring a hard reset), I decided to buy a QNAP TS - 569 L and use it to host my ESXi data store. Now, I'm migrating my VMs from the iSCSI data store hosted on the ReadyNAS to the iSCSI data store hosted by QNAP.

  My VMs are supplied thin, and I want to preserve thin provisioning after migration. The data store Navigator ESXi can move (or copy) machines virtual data to another store, but thin-set in service virtual machines become thick-set service once they have been moved (or copied). Somebody advised Veeam to that end, I've installed and configured. Unfortunately, Veeam-error with the message that the current license does not have the migration of virtual machines from a data store to another. Just today, I learned that he must have at least the ESXi Essentials ($500) license to allow this type of migration of Veeam.

  I also tried OVFTool (the MMware command line utility), using the following syntax:

  . / ovftool - ds QNAP-iSCSI - dm = vi thin: / / vi [email protected]/CUCM-Pub: / / [email protected]

  where:

  QNAP-iSCSI is the name of the data store on the QNAP

  192.168.200.10 is the IP address of my box of ESXi that is connected to two data stores iSCSI (the one organized by the ReadyNAS and the other by the QNAP).

  CUCM-Pub is the name of the virtual machine on the ReadyNAS iSCSI data store I'm migrating to the QNAP iSCSI data store.

  However, I get the following error message:

  Error: Unexpected Option: vi: / / [email protected]/CUCM-Pub

  This is probably due to the same issue - free ESXi license does not allow this type of VM migration. So, what are my options with free ESXi license? I'm not willing to pay $500 for the license of the essential at this stage.

  Thank you!

  A few options, I can think of are:

  • export to the FVO and re - import
  • use VM explore Trilead and backup/restore virtual machines
  • Use the vmkfstools command to copy the virtual disks

• Question about the upgrade to ESXi 4.1 and USB keys

  Right now I'm under ESXi 4.1 from a USB key (ie. a very small USB key).

  If I want to "start over" and use a newer USB for ESXi 5 but keep my intact, is guest operating systems - this possible?  (For example, if I install ESXi on a Virgin USB 5.0, will I be able to import my existing operating system vmx ESXi 4.1 images, etc.?)

  In addition, what's the downside of ESXi 5 running from a USB?  I spin this in a laboratory at the House and have read that ESXi basically load into memory if you really start player ESXi itself is useless and a USB key is perfectly fine.  Is this true?

  If you do not want re - configure ESXi 5.0, you can proceed as follows:

  1. Use free software, called "USB Image Tool 1.57" make a picture of your USB 4.1 - software available here http://www.alexpage.de/usb-image-tool/ .  This way you can restore it to any USB in the future.
  2. After making a backup of your USB 4.1 image, upgrade installation 4.1 to 5.0.
  3. Make a backup of your configuration of ESXi using the CLI vMA tool / vSphere in Windows with the following command: vicfg-cfgbackup-next - server
  4. The new installation of ESXi 5.0 on new USB
  5. VMA or vSphere CLI tool use in Windows with the following command to restore the backup from step 3 config: vicfg-cfgbackup-load - server
  6. You should now have ESXi 5.0 works on a new USB without any necessary configuration

  Alternatively, you can restore the image USB created in step 1 on your old USB in order to have a 4.1 installation handy...

  I recommend that make you a picture of your USB 5.0 USB as well just in case in the future USB fails.

• Key license creative cloud system problem

  Hello

  I have a problem and I could not find a solution that let explain me my first problem. One of my clients through the Cloud Creative Adobe system. And the system sells products like period of a year. When they bought the products they had another system, so they installed the product to him and when they went to the new system they have had some problems with the license.

  I want you to update the information which will give us to you, is - possible? Because they bought the product on 2013 and I guess that if you change the number of license according to the system there is no problem in my opinion. In fact, when I searched on the internet there a lot of problems of this kind.

  I have attached the screen shots of the problem below, you can check out them from there. Could you please help me immediately?

• ESXi en ¿instalar a USB key?

  Buenas,

  The structure that we have we are dedicating UN disco duro montada en (o a veces 2 in RAID1) para instalar VMware ESXi 4.x. Dentro poco vamos a buy una cabina discos para los servidores, por lo poco a poco estos discos than connect local need cada vez menos utility.

  Conociendo el precio los discos duros empresariales, what os parece idea instalar ESXi pendrives to discos duros en vez?

  Instalar ESXi 5.0 en UN USB (supongo than 4.x tambien) soportado por VMware esta, pero no se if hay algun en possible real ello. As I have understood, the n / scratch 4 GB is crearia in Andorra RAM, pero por el precio esta currently than RAM creo as compensaria sobradamente.

  A worm that os parece el tema. A greeting.

  Hola! the idea comparto not bootear desde SAN ago me trajo a dolor of cabeza esa trabajar mas forma.

  Con respecto a instalacion en pendrives yo tengo para uso interno 3 equipos than bootean desde hace USB pendrive 3 anos y nunca no problema. Creo that el beneficio main era poder tener una copia del pendrive y bootear desde ahi con todo armado in caso of than tuvieras a problema in el equipo o well con el pendrive pero realidad, y a mi hear, are as hoy con tan few configs that can apply sober ESXi or even hace falta tener una copia del pendrive con toda the config.

• License free ESXi

  I got a license key free for ESXi and I use it for testing purposes in a lab environment.

  Since I install and re-install ESXi (free version) using the same license key, is there a maximum number of times the same free license key can be used and reused?
