ESXi will remain as a free product?

I'm more curious to know if vmware ESXi will always remain free with future updates, as all other vSphere development will be done on ESXi...

Welcome to the VMware forums communities.

I would say that VMware vSphere Hypervisor (i.e. ESXi free) will remain free.  In general, money is not the hypervisor and management products.  Given the free alternatives it would be quite a strange decision if he were to withdraw the free license.

  • Where to find the ESXi 5.0 license key (Free 5.0 hypervisor)?

    Hi people

    Sorry, maybe someone already asked this but I couldn't find an exact answer to my question.

    I currently have a FREE ESXi Server 4.1 with a FREE license key provided by VMWare, when I downloaded the product.

    I want to update my system (have 8 GB of RAM, so no problem with rights of vRAM) 5.0 hypervisor (ESXi 5.0)

    I downloaded the ISO and it displays a countdown of the 60 day trial in my VMWare account.

    But I've never had a license key for the FREE hypervisor 5.0 5.0.

    So my questions:

    1. hypervisor is 5.0 still a FREE product?
    2. a necessary or this license key will work just after the 60 day trial with limited functions?

    3. If a license key is required even for the FREE version. Why don't the VMWare Portal not provide me with a new 5.0 key?

    Kind regards

    Oliver

    After login, click on the license tab and download, scroll up to where it says option 2: download ESXi. the license key is immediately below here. More far to the bottom of the page are links to binary files.

  • After signing to Windows 10 free upgrade and if windows 7 or 8 re-installed will still get 10 free upgrade Windows.

    Hi friends.

    I'm new to this forum.

    Wanted to know, had recently windows flash 10 indicator of free upgrade. Registered for it but for some reason, I need to reinstall my Windows 7 64 bit SP1.

    After re-installation of Windows 7 after 3 days as I have not received flag upgrade windows 10 on my system tray.

    So I would like to know, if I get the upgrade windows free 10 when it is available.

    Concerning

    C.

    There is no need to "reserve" anything.  This is purely marketing share MS to "encourage" users upgrade.  They will be happy to pass any OS eligible in the first year for free, and it will remain free for the life of the device when it was released on July 29

    There will be some ISO available when win 10 is out July 29

  • Guests who will remain not connected to vCenter

    4.1.0 ESXi and vCenter 4.1.0

    We have four hosts in a cluster, two have no problem while the other two will remain not connected to vCenter.  I checked all that in the article 1003409 (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1003409) and found no problem.

    Four servers are IBM x 3690 X 5 and all are connected to the same four SAN LUNS, the only difference is that for problem servers management interfaces are on a different subnet, but the port UDP 902 is open between them and the vCenter server.  I can reconnect manually, but they will be disconnected again in a minute or two.

    Does anyone have ideas beyond what is in the article 1003409 that I can check?

    Thank you

    Darryl

    Make sure you have port 902 open TCP , as well as UDP.

    See this article: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/documentLinkInt.do?micrositeID=&popup=true&languageId=&externalID=1012382

    Regarding the 902 TCP port:

    vCenter Server system uses to send data to managed hosts. This port should not be blocked by the firewall between the server and the host or between hosts

    If the problem persists, I would try to remove the host to vCenter inventory, add new. Who's going to reinstall agents vCenter on the hosts.

    EDIT: This particular excerpt was taken from the entrance to vCenter 5.x, but the same is true for vCenter 4.x (it is high on the table). To be clear, you 902 TCP and UDP open both vcenter for hosts, host to vCenter and host to host.

  • WRT54G v.5 will remain not connected to the new laptop / Windows 7 Premium

    WRT54G v.5 will remain not connected to the new laptop / Windows 7 Premium. It works continuously with a cycle detection, connection, loss of connection; detection, connection, loss of connection, etc... The router works through this cycle, basically acting as if I disconnected and then reconnected to the power to reset, it disrupts my Internet connection to my Wired iMac and wireless, another office to the floor. Paid for Linksys support today and through remote access, he put up a new network on my desktop (iMac). After finishing, the problem still exists. When I told him that the problem had not been corrected, he said just wait an hour or two and it should work itself. She, of course, did not himself. Any ideas out there?

    Nevermind - I seem to have solved the problem with a simple firmware. Funny how the Linksys technician support don't think to ask what version of the router I have or suggest that I should try to upgrade firmware first. However, he is quite good at trying to upsell me for a new router instead of trying to help me solve the problem I had. It makes me want to go buy Netgear next time, thanks a lot!

    Are the two computers to the same distance from the router?   How many bars do you plan to connect?  You use without wireless - G or wireless-N?  Try clicking on the bars (next to the lower-right clck) then click on Open network and sharing Center, then click on wireless network connection and see that the number of MB/s is just above the bars in the middle of the right.  You should see something like 54 Mbps and at least 2 or 3 bars.

    Good luck.
