• 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.

• Very quick question on the free ESXi license

  Sorry this post as I have a related thread opened yet, but:

  Free ESXi 4.1 vSphere license allows access to San fiber channel?

  I ask because I am frustrated by is denied access to something that worked, and the only change I see is that I entered the license key last week. I spread the material, there must be setup somewhere.

  Again, I am really sorry to post a new thread, but I need a quick answer, I need this system in place and running as soon as possible!

  See you soon,.

  Yes - all access to storage etc will work always - it is only 'Advanced' features that are limited.

• The adware file? -com.microsoft.office.licensing.helper.plist

  I have a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X Lion (10.7.5), Safari (6.1.6)

  I do a few the well-being of the software from my computer. I followed the instructions on this page, stop adware and pop-up advertising windows in Safari, and in/Library/LaunchDaemons, I found this file - com.microsoft.office.licensing.helper.plist

  Now, the instructions on the page in the link I shared suggests that a file in this folder beginning with 'com' and ending with '. helper.plist"is a file of adware, and there will be some 'any word' between the two." Where I am confused is that they say the central part of the file name is 'any word', but they don't give that the file name may use several words separated by periods (.) or if they are all considered a Word. He also doesn't seem to be file names using the same word in/Library/LaunchAgents or in Library/Application Support, as the instructions suggest it.

  Can anyone confirm whether or not it is adware file?

  It is not adware

• Free trial of Adobe license number

• Assessment vs free ESXi

  Hello... I hope you can help, because I am pulling my hair out, running around in circles trying to understand this.  I know that VMWare would like to 'sell' things, but they announce a hypervisor VSphere/ESXi 5 'free '... HOW to get the free version - or at least a key to activate/register it?

  I went to http://www.vmware.com/go/get-free-esxi/ and follow the guests (I have both connected to an account, I got back to version 3.5 AND created a new job - both with the same result), got ESXi downloaded and installed, but I get a pop-up from the client saying that my assessment has 60 days to the left and click on a link to assign a license.  On using the link, we wonder again at connection, now that I am presented with a registration page.  After completing the registration page, I gives me information on my assessment.  I don't have listed in my VMWare license keys (although I've seen initially a key when first present with my download link)... only an assessment with links on EACH page on how to 'buy' VSphere.

  How my free VSphere become only a test and evaluation?  Where can I get a free license for VSphere and how to assign a free license to my VSphere host?

  Sorry for the frustration - I would really like to test the waters to implement VMWare to our datacenter upgrade, I've heard great things on this subject, but at this point what does say that Microsoft licensing is WAY easier than VMWare?

  Thank you!

  In the vSphere client, click on the server.  Go to the Configuration tab.  Choose "Licensed Features" (to the left of the pane, under 'Software').  Click on "Edit"... "(top right of the pane).

• Impossible to use 5.5 free ESXi?

  Hi guys,.

  I have a question. I want to use ESXi 5.5 my free license. I downloaded the installer and install it on my server. But whenever I want to connect via vSphere, I get a message that I left the 60 days for the activation of ESXi, otherwise it will not work.

  How can I use my license key, so that my server can work more than 60 days?

  Best regards!

  Hello

  It is a normal behavior.

  Now you use a license in evaluation mode (all features enabled).

  When the 60-day trial period is over, all licensed features will be disabled, and certain tasks (for example on and off the virtual machines power) will not be allowed.

  Then, you change the evaluation by a license license free esxi, before the 60-day evaluation period expires.

• Free ESXi details

  could someone please shed some light on where he is now.

  (1) I realize that the free ESXi 5.5 new lifted restrictions of memory, but these restrictions have also been lifted for older versions?  Why VMware would remove the restriction to the 5.5 versions but not earlier?

  (2) if the restriction is not thrown for 5.1, which is the real restriction?  It's 32 GB of ram total in the server, or 32 GB of ram per socket, I saw it part two ways in different positions...

  (3) if the restriction is not thrown for 5.1, what should a user expect to see should when they try to apply the free license to 5.1 hypervisor that has more memory X memory in the host? (I say X because I have not yet replied to question 2)

  Thank you.

  OK, thanks for your response guys, you were mostly correct.  but I felt to actually test this while you wait for the answer, here's the final on that:

  the host was built using eval similarly all hosts are built, he had 48 GB of memory.  When I tried to add the free lic he first gave me an error message indicating that it didn't belong to the product.  It doesn't have any meaning.  I tried again and got the same error... very frustrating.  One thing to note, I was connected directly on vmnic0 via my laptop on the completely isolated network.

  I tried again, only the 3rd time I tried, I was at my desk, connection to ESXi through vClient (I got access to the internet from this station), and this time the error message was completely different, he said that I was too memory displays the amount of memory (48 GB), said the ICA would support only 32GB.

  So the hypervisor starts indeed, but why wouldn't it, its still in eval mode... and after mode eval is finished, I think that ESXi will start at the hypervisor, but you just can not power on virtual machines.

  So the treat on the hypervisor, not boot or startup seems to be incorrect.

  If someone wishes to speak I'll keep this post open for a few days.

• No more free ESXi?

  Hello!

  I thought the ESXi Hypervisor was free, so I downloaded ESXi 5 and installed on a server rack-HP-.

  The only way to manage a guest operating system is to install the vSphere Client and he says it's only a test 60 days.

  I thought maybe it is the customer who is on triel vSphere, but when I look at the ESXi, he also says "trial".

  Y at - it a sort of free ESXi or should I buy?

  Without the vSphere Client, how to manage comments-OX? In CLI?

  RS

  It is only valid for vCenter.

  You must follow the instructions for a stand-alone article KB André related license host:

  To allow a standalone ESXi 5.x (vSphere Hypervisor):

  1. Connect to the ESXi host with vSphere Client.
  2. Click the Configuration tab.
  3. Click licensed features in software.
  4. Click change in the appearance under the license tab.
  5. Select assign a new license key at this host.
  6. Press enter and enter the license key.
  7. Click OK.

• vCenter Trial - add free ESXi existing Datacenter

  I've been running three hosts with the free version of ESXi. We try to evaluate licenses paid to get additional features (vMotion, etc.). I imported the virtual appliance for the server vCenter without any problem. Now I try to add my existing hosts in the data center, which I created in vCenter. When I do this, I get an error "download the file 10.161.30.3 to vCenter License Server failed because the exception: vim.fault.HostConnectFault". Is it not possible to add existing free ESXi hosts to vCenter trial?

  Cannot add ESXi hosts permitted by the hypervisor free license to vCenter Server. If the hosts 60-day evaluation period have not been achieved, we can use it in trial mode. Apart from this you can ask for the keys to the assessment of your VMware reseller representative.

• What are the free ESXi / 5.1 vsphere Hypervisor hardware required / restrictions?

  Situation: I'm going to update a few web servers where I am currently under the free version of ESXi/vSphere 4.0.  When 5.0 was released, I decided to not look at new versions of VMware because of the restriction of vRAM and either run an earlier version or something.  I came across a post that says 5.1 license was different and stopped by the page 5.1 and read this http://www.vmware.com/products/datacenter-virtualization/vsphere-hypervisor/requirements.html who actually reads differently.

  Questions: am I correct in my understanding of the restrictions for 5.1 are:

  1. 32 GB max RAM PHYSICS?  (It's a big change from 32GB vRAM).

  2. no limit on the number of CPUs or cores?  (This is a big change of physical processor 1 up to 6 cores max.)

  Thank you!
  

  PS: If the only real limitation is now 32 GB RAM virtual, VMware made a good shot.  I'm not the skin to VMware, so I think that physical 32 GB is perfect.  There is still only so much you can do in the 32 GB, but there is not the complexities of licensing.  The restriction of vRAM was impassable.  Server purchase is unnecessarily complicated by restrictions of socket and core.  This means that I could buy a standard speed core 8 or 10 cheaper XEON or use an older multiprocessor machine instead of an expensive high-frequency 6 core with hyperthreading.

  1. 32 GB max RAM PHYSICS?  (It's a big change from 32GB vRAM).

  Yes that's right FREE esxi supports maximum 32 GB physical RAM can only

  2. no limit on the number of CPUs or cores?  (This is a big change of physical processor 1 up to 6 cores max.)

  No Yes No limit on physical CPU or cores

• Details on the VMA for free ESXi and ESXi 4.0 to 4.1 upgrade

  Hi all

  I recently did a upgrade to ESXi 4.0 U1 to ESXi 4.1 (and before doing so did not noticed that MAS will be more usable in 4.1). I wanted to just make sure that there is currently no way to using VMrun to automate the decommissioning and snapshot and reboot of the Guest OS on ESXi 4.1 and that there is not just an error in my code?

  vmrun h https://ESXI_SERVER/sdk u root Pei _PASSWORD_ t stop server "VM_NAME" "" sweet

  I work for a non-profit and my budget is tight at best (around $150.00 USD) per year for this project. My only choice is to roll back to 4.0 U1?

  Brent cordially

  When you say vMA will be more usable in 4.1, what do you mean by that? If you have upgraded to vSphere 4.1 and you want to use vMA, then you must download the version 4.1 of vMA compared to version 4.0.

  If you are referring to the license "bug" to VIX, VIX releases allowing yet it works on ESXi free is VIX 1.6.2 but the problem has also been fixed on the side of ESX (i) of things from 4.1. If you rely on this feature, you can return to 4.0.x.

  That said, you always have the option to use the Busybox Console (Tech Support Mode) to manage and perform various host and virtual machine using vimshoperations, it works with both a licensed version and free ESXi as the commands are executed within TSM and this could be an alternative without having to demote ESXi

• Can you connect free ESXi to Vcenter?

  Probably a simple question, but I don't seem to find a clear answer.   I have an environment Vsphere with Vcenter 4.1 and I recently had to load the free ESXi on a single machine just to run 2 virtual machines on a single server.   I was wondering if the free license allows the management with Vcenter server licensed.

  Thank you.

• Essentials V2V conversion 4 free ESXi 3.5

  Hello

  I have 2 servers running on vSphere ESXi 4 Essentials more than license.  I need to switch to a free ESXi 3.5 server.  These 2 machines should be saved.  I don't think I can install the converter and v2v just them above the free version, and I know that I have 3 licenses for ESXi 4 but I have more not all 64-bit servers to run on. The guest computers are server 2003 32-bit.

  Is there an easy way to do this?

  Thank you

  Curt

  You shouldn't have any problem doing this with VMware Converter.
