  I tried to follow these instructions , but I don't see the option for requestion a license for my type of installation.

  That's what I'm running: VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.0.0-2494585.x86_64-Dell_Customized-A00.iso

  
  Thank you.

  You can get the license of VMware site as described on the blog post that you posted above, because there is no different license for OEM ISOs.

• Free license for Esxi 6.0 Cisco custom ISO

  Dear all,

  Is it possible to get the free license for Esxi 6.0 custom cisco ISO? or what can I use standard 6.0 for Cisco 6.0installation custom Esxi Esxi free license key?

  I could find the free license only for Esxi 6.0 standard image customized Cisco.

  Thank you.

  Welcome to the community,

  Cisco and other hardware providers offer ESXi images customized to support their equipment. However, the customization is made by adding/replacement drivers and tools. The base is still the same original VMware image. There is no specific license provider.

• How to get the free license for HP Custom Image for ESXi 5.1.0

  Hi there guys.

  I have HP Proliant DL160 G6 and I installed this: https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/details?downloadGroup=HP-ESXI-5.1.0U3-GA & productId = 285

  I would like to ask how I can get a free license for this hypervisor?

  My server supports only hypervisor 5.1, but none of the most recent versions, then told me to install the one I posted above.

  This version of the free hypervisor and how do I get the license for this last, or where I can download another more recent free hypervisor can 5.1.0?

  Thanks in advance!

  Unfortunately, you can't have the old version free license... As if you were going to a free version, you can try the latest version and key are available with them. Currently esxi 6.0.

  If you bought the license for 5.1, then you can get the license key. another sound impossible.

  What version do you use? 2.1 they went to a model free and advanced, depending on the features you need, you can be able to upgrade and continue without additional licenses.

  No doubt, you can convert your current license VSG, contact your engineer.

• Install the license for VM esxi esxi 4 Vm Server 5

  I installed the vmware server esxi 4 and I got the trial version for about a year now. I bought the license for 4 processors to a vmware esxi 5. Does this mean I have to upgrade the current server Vmware esxi 4 to 5 until I can use this license? or will the license so I can do the upgrade later.

  any input will be appreciated.

  Yes, the upgrade is very easy.

• 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).

• Do we need to buy separate licenses for ESXi and VCenter and 5

  Hello

  I have confusion about the licensing model, I have 2 servers (2 socket) physical with 4 licenses of VMWARE VSPHERE 5 STANDARD 1 PROCESSOR, you can clear my doubts if I need to buy a separate license for VCenter Server and if so, which is the right one?

  Thank you

  Yes, vCenter Server needs to be licensed separately (VMware also offers packaged essentials and acceleration kits). Since you already have the CPU licenses, you can either watch the "vCenter Server Foundation" license that allows to manage up to 3 guests or 'vCenter Server Standard' license without this limitation.

• I would like to download the license for Vcenter 5.5

  Hello:

  We recently purchased a new (HP DL380 Gen9) ESXi host and that host will work with Version 5.5 Update 2.  I was asked my our VMware consultant to connect to our VMware account and get the license for Vcenter 5.5 .  I can log on to the account; but, how to the license for Vcenter 5.5?

  Then the license "vCenter Server 5 Essentials" should be sufficient. You should be able to download vCenter 5.5 from here (but don't forget to take the update correct level: 5.5, 5.5 U1 or U2 5.5): VMware vSphere 5: Private Cloud Computing, server and data center virtualization

  And you should think about upgrading 5.1 hosts after that vCenter device is installed and configured.

• VMware Tools upgrade changes machineID, breaks the issuance of licenses for some applications

  We have this application called localization, manufactured by Hyland Software. Whenever I've upgrade VMware Tools on our ESXi hosts on all virtual machines, it breaks the granting of licenses for the application and localization will not work until the licensing is completely redone. No idea why this is happening?

  Below is the reading of the application regarding the issuance of licenses, and attached is a screenshot of the error in the application. I'm certainly not asking someone to solve the problem of the application, but what on earth could possibly VMTools change that would have caused this? Thanks in advance!

  If this is what is causing the problem?

  I'm sure of it - about 99.9% Yes.

  And if so, what changes would affect a particular software feature licenses?

  "All the virtual machines have a hardware version, which shows the characteristics of virtual hardware that supports the virtual machine, such as BIOS or EFI, number of virtual slots, maximum number of processors, the maximum memory configuration and other features material." - from http://www.vmware.com/products/datacenter-virtualization/vsphere/compute.html

  They probably linked the license to an individual (or several) attribute of the "hardware" of the virtual machine. Think of it regarding a physical system - changed nothing in the operating system (at least not GUID, MSN, etc.), it was something that the operating system has access to related material. You could probably bug them enough and get them to reveal madness method they use for this, but I don't know if it would be really useful. You can leave virtual to older material , to some extent, which means that you can reduce the number of times you have to repeat this process.

• Licensing for the server on the site of DR

  Not 100% sure of my terminology as I am new to all this, please bear with me!

  At our headquarters, we have a server VMware ESXi 4.0.0 loner and we use vCenter and vSphere 4.0 license (2xCPU).

  So far so good.

  At our DR site, we run the free ESXi 4.0.0

  The recovery site is not a (live) "hot" site, apart from occasional (once or twice a year) tests where we restore from backups for testing and so on.

  We use Veeam backup software, and because their software does not allow direct restore to freedom of ESXi hosts, the restore process is two steps: (1) disk space backup restore temporary; then copy VM to ESXi disk files and start them

  I wonder if I can install my licenses for our live Webcam VMware server to the DR server, given that, apart from the occasional tests, they would never at the same time.

  It would go directly to the backup media to the ESXi host under license, the restore process, rather than the 2-step process.

  Q. What does VMware allow me to perform with my licenses for a DR scenario?

  I have discussed this issue with VMware.

  You can use the same license (no need to buy new) for the remote site if there is no load on ESX remote, and just waiting for if something happens.

  With Veeam, you can use the replication instead of restore backups.

• VCB licenses for ESXi4

  Hi guys,.

  A very simple question; but was much too difficult to confirm:

  I understand that VCB will not work with the free version of ESXi4.  To use VCB with ESXi you must purchase a license VSphere (Standard/advanced/business/Business Plus), or can get away you with VSphere Essentials(i.e. Essentials or Essentials Plus)?

  The documentation is vague and scattered on the site

  Thank you

  Price for Essentials is 1 k$.

  This package contains licenses for 3 ESXes 2 sockets more vCenter Foundation (which does not support more than 3 guests).

• Licenses for more than one CPU in SMP 4-way

  Hello

  A question about the ESXi license (free): it is said it can be used for a single CPU with up to 4 cores. Is it possible to obtain a license for a dual processor computer for say 8 cores in total?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  If you want to go beyond 1 physical processor, then you need the license to the Foundation. -> http://www.vmware.com/products/esxi/buy.html

• Portege R500 - Toshiba does sell OEM licenses for Windows 7

  Hello

  I have a Portege R500 with Windows XP.
  I have now installed a version of Windows 7 without activation to see if all the drivers are working (Windows 8 is not supported I know).

  Everything looks good and Windows tells me now as planned, it is not authentic and propose to buy the license, but when I go to MS it fails (it seems that MS sells not more Windows 7).

  Toshiba sells licenses for Windows 7 for a R500 OEM?

  It would be a shame to throw it away because of this.

  Thank you
  Markus

  All you can do is to order a Toshiba Recovery disk.
  The recovery disc contains exactly the same operating system that was preinstalled on the laptop on the first day of purchase.

  In your case, this means that you will get the recovery with Win XP OS disk.

  As Timox said: If you want to use the other system than Win XP, you must purchase the Microsoft operating system.

• Satellite Pro L500 - no license for Toshiba Bluetooth Stack

  Hope someone can help me. I'm going along in circles.

  November 8, 2010 I bought online at Toshiba Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (Premium Edition) for my Toshiba Satellite Pro L500 so that I could use my dongle (non-Toshiba) existing. It works well until a few months ago.

  Thinking that the dongle was packed that I bought another one.
  However, even though I know that it is not working I could not make it work on my Toshiba laptop I get the error after the Toshiba Bluetooth stack as follows:

  "Thank you for the evaluation of battery Bluetooth for Windows by Toshiba. The evaluation period is now expired. You can purchase a license for this version of Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba. "

  This seems to involve I came at the end of a free trial period but I did not because I bought the full license in 2010. I tried various things, but I can't go beyond that. I'm not a computer boffin, but I can reasonably find my way around a laptop. Can someone please, please help me?

  Post edited by: Jeannie

  Hello

  Have you tried to reinstall the battery Bluetooth using once more the license provided by Toshiba?

• What license for protection of Email?

  Hello

  We have a UTM50 from 2013. The first license period expires now.

  We use Email Protection but that you no longer use the Web Protection.

  I've already updated our Messaging Protection license which is valid until the 1.1.2017.

  Our Protection Web will expire in 3 days.

  The system sent me an email today:

  "Critical functions like filtering URL infested with malware, blocking websites that empty your productivity, scanning and cleaning downloads infected with the virus, as well as blocking SPAM e-mail are all dependent on these licenses"

  Is it possible that SPAM blocking depends ob Web protection not on the e-mail Protection.

  It would be a strange behavior.

  The information contained in the pages of support Netgear says something different: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20830

  What ist the right information?

  Can someone there explain.

  Thanks in advance.

  Michael

  After the expiration of the license for web protection last weekend the firewall blocks always spam.

  So I think it was a general message about the license expiring, but from my point of view, this kind of message is very annoying because you never know if there is a problem with filtering if you don't buy a license for the web anti-spam protection.

  This kind of email causes 'the fear '.

  If the junk e-mail filtering would have stopped we would receive hundreds of spam and which could cause chaos.

  I hope that netgear changes expired messages to be more precise.

  Thank you

  Michael
