Free hypervisor licensing restrictions.

Hi guys,.

I would like to know if the free VMware hypervisor comes with restrictions of license on the amount of memory that it is able to use or processors (cores).

I have a big server with 32 cores and 132GB of RAM and just want to know if the free hypervisor is able to use all the infrastcucture available that's all.

I had a glance has the record and could not find anything.

Thank you

Hi Vincent,.

Take a look at http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere-hypervisor/faq.html

at the bottom it is said

vSphere Hypervisor license gives a vRAM 32 GB per server, regardless of the number of physical processors. vSphere Hypervisor can be used on servers with maximum physical RAM capacity of 32 GB.

If your server is overwhelmed for the free license.

  • Free hypervisor: reading / / v5 script writing?

    Hello comrades vUsers.

    A few days ago, that a customer pointed out that with the ESXi 5 licensed as free hypervisor, with the help of PowerCLI, they could script whatever they want, including write operations. (Creating, destroying computers, power-on/power-off). I could check this in a test environment.

    So far, I have nothing on this subject in the pages of literature, or at all, so it is impossible for me to check if is mistakenly or intentionally.

    Is someone can enlighten us as to what is happening? Is reading / writing-scripting is going to stay? Is it established anywhere?

    Thank you

    Thank you, we are aware of this problem and it will be corrected in a future version

  • license restricted pix + ACC + card

    You can run a map VAC + in a pix 515E with licensed restricted until you have only 2 ethernet interfaces in the pix IE. the limit of 3 interface on a restricted permit includes a map VAC +.

    If this is not the case, how do you improve to a restricted to an unrestricted license and about how much it costs for a 515E.

    Thank you very much

    The part number of Cisco for the 515/515E restricted unrestricted upgrade is "PIX-515-SW-R-UR =". The US price is $ 4000, but it includes the map VAC and a memory of 32 MB upgrade. You also get a new activation key which will allow the unrestricted software features.

    Hello

    Using VMWare Converter standalone 4.0, it's a free VMWare tool exactly for situations like yours. I use the conversion tool to transfer my virtual machines much between different hosts of ESXi and also founded to convert ESXi VMs to VMWare Server/Workstation and vice versa.

    All you need to do is turn off the virtual machine and make sure that it is in the inventory of the ESXi host source; Use the VMWare Infrastucture option while selecting the source and the destination of VMWare Converter Standalone, you will be asked to provide identification name and connection of your ESXi source servers and destination information.

    VMWare Converter Standalone is a brialliant tool, its very flexible in that you can resize your hard drive, use a provisioning, edit all devices.

    Hope this information useful for you.

  • ESXi 4.0 free version: license?

    Hello

    I have a few questions on ESXi 4.0 free version and free vsphere client.

    I installed ESXi 4.0 on a temporary server and client vSphere on a temporary PC for testing.

    Now, I want to want to install ESXi 4.0 free version on another server and vSphere (free version) on other client computers. I need a free additional license for this, or can I use my old license?

    I can install the free version of vSphere on how many customers? I want to manage a free ESXi 4.0 Server with more than one PC client.

    Is the limited number of virtual machines? It takes about 15 virtual machines.

    The free version of ESXi 4.0 and the free version of vSphere supports withot server according to constraints?

    Fujitsu Siemens ground TX300 S4

    Intel Quad Core x 64 CPU Xenon

    16 GB OF RAM

    Hard drives: RAID 5/6 from FSC to the LSI MegaRAID SAS

    I know that this type of server is supported with ESXi 4.0, but I don't know if there is no limitation of the free version of ESXi 4.0 and vSphere.

    You can use the same license for installation of up to 3

    You can have an instant 15 vsphere client both connection

    No nedd buy vSphere client, it's free

    Max 120 VM/s you have in ESXi in Cluster HA

    Check the hardware compatibility

    Apparently fontlab.com TypeTool3 does not allow you to set licensing, and is by default "no-flush".

    You must upgrade to Fontographer (another $ 300) to set up licensing. Now that I did it, it works.

  • CPU ESXi free license restrictions

    Hi guys,.

    I need some advice to confirm what I intend to do what I'm not sure about this to 100%.

    Server's processors core 2 x 6, up to 12 cores in total.

    I need to put in place 4 virtual machines with 3cpus each, that will be fine with my set up under the free license agreement? Maybe I'll go for 3 VMS with 4cpus each as well. Is this possible?

    Thank you!

    Yes an unlimited number of virtual machines.

  • New user vSphere Hypervisor license Question.

    I realize, it's maybe a stupid question, but the free license, I received for ESXi said 5 licenses of the Machine. It's that 5 guests? or 5 virtual machines on a single host?

    Thank you.

    In fact, there is no such limitations. The current version is only limited to 32 GB memory physical host and some lower limits for virtual machines (e.g. max. 8 vCPUs/VM). Also, you will have limited access API, which prevents to use most based virtual machine backup solutions. For more details, see Getting Started with Free VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) .

  • can a test vsphere installation be 'downgraded' in a free "hypervisor vshpere" version?

    A sysadmin installed vsphere installed the correct version. He was supposed to install vsphere hypervisor, which is free, but it instlead insalled the 60 trial.

    We have a bunch of virtual machines and virtual switches, which would take time to re - create.

    Is there anyway to return to the trial to the free license, or do we need to re - format the server and start from scratch?  Can we keep the volumes with the warehouses of data in tact and reforming the partition with installed only vshpere?  This can save our lives.

    We do not have vCenter or modules of backup, in order to save the config/vms will be very difficult (although we are experimenting the vCli produced files that can be a backup).

    You can keep anything - not even a reboot needed.

    Just register on the VMware Web site for a free key and apply this key to your host.  You will then no longer on trial and will be on the free version.

  • Console free hypervisor-based Web ESXi 5.5

    I just downloaded the free version of ESXi 5.5 to begin to evaluate against the 5.1. Reading, VMware is moving to a web console only, with the native client only for "emergency access" to the host (why everyone goes to web consoles? they tend to be more problematic than native consoles...).

    With the free version, how are you supposed to get the Web Console? It is referred to as the download saying vSphere client: "Note: vSphere Web Client can be installed using the installer of the vCenter server ', but it is not available when you sign up for the free version." So if you have the free version, which is the right way to get the web client, and what you're supposed to install on? If the web console will now be required to access the new features of the hypervisor, maybe VMware should consider providing unit vCenter with the free version, the paid options disabled, of course.

    I think that this topic is covered in the KB article:

    Changing the settings of the virtual machine fails with the error: you cannot use the vSphere client to change the settings of the virtual version 10 or higher machines (2061336)

  • 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,.

    Gargravarr

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

  • How can I determine if the host is ESXi free or licensed?

    How can one know if an ESXi host is ESXi free, or if it is allowed?

    I searched through the crowd on a couple of different configurations and I don't see anything obvious that indicates this.  I ask because there are some features that only work on ESXi under license and would like to be able to detect the server type I'm talking about.

    I guess that there is a way to do so under the ha - Manager of licenses.

    Thank you

    Eric

    The method that I use to check for this in my scripts is to use the licenseManager watch ownership licenses and see if the license is equivalent to "esxBasic", the host is ESXi, if both these things are true, then you are using the free version of ESXi. In my view, there is another method in which the free version does not contain the full name of some kind, but I forgot what it was. If the above solution worked for me for some time and is simple to check

    Hello

    VCB is compatible with ESXi 4.0.

    But ESXi must be dismissed. With a free ESXi 4.0 VCB is not supported.

  • Free trial license

    I am currently using a free trial of Adobe Pro XI.  I just bought the full Adobe XI Pro but opted for "box" instead of the download.

    Is there a way I can get a license in the free trial to stop the reminder of the very aggravating free trial that appears whenever I open a .pdf file?

    I get it that it's a free trial version.  I get it it will expire soon.  I bought the product.  Now leave me alone.

    You will need to contact support and have them send the number - which, in the network of sales and support of Adobe system which may not be at all easy. Otherwise there is no way to disable the nag screen.
