• 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.

• 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.

• ESXi 6 license for ESXi 5

  Hello

  I have a Dell R510 I want to use as a VM host and so recorded for the free ESXi hypervisor and received a license key. However, this key is for v6 which is not supported on the R510.

  I downloaded a custom Dell ESXi 5.5 image and so would like to know if I can use the v6 for v5.5 license key. If this is not the case, how can I get a v5 license key?

  Thanks for your help.

  Hi RyanH84,

  You are right to say that I needed to register for v5.5. I contact VMware support who wrote:

  If I understand correctly, you need a license key for VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5.5.

  I wish to inform you that the license key can be obtained on the portal My of VMware "VMware vSphere Hypervisor Download Center" page. The default version for the hypervisor is Version 6.x.

  There is an option to choose the version of the hypervisor required on the upper left side of the page. I've attached a screenshot of the same thing for your reference.

  Please refer to the link below for more information on the download and licenses ESXi 5.x: http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2014574

  
  

  It was not quite so simple I had to connect to My VMware > go to all downloads > choose vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) > change to v5.5-v6 version > click on get a free trial. This time allows to register you and gives you the license key and download link.

  In any case, I now have the license key thank you for your help!

• ESXi free 6. Might be a stupid question, but how/where to get the license for?

  Hi all

  Every time I try to download and then navigate to the license key for ESXI hypervisor 6.0 free I get redirected to "My wmware" page where I can download / select 'vSphere and vSphere with operations management', but which does not provide me with a license key as just run in a 60 day trial.

  Even if I try a direct link, such as: https://my.vmware.com/en/group/vmware/evalcenter?p=free-esxi6 it would fail, is to pursue this matter I might be told "You are not enrolled in this product." and if I hit the [register] button it would to the page "My VMware" and loops...

  Is the past when downloading the 5.0, 5.5 and those where an article to the called component download page where him compares keys such a list, I don't see the part.

  So what I'm missing here?

• 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.

• Evaluation for ESXi 4.1 license?

  I have currently 3 guests I'm apparently running ESXi 4.1 free edition on. I am to evaluate a backup program called Trilead VM Explorer that requires guests have paid licenses for these features. I wanted to see if it was worthwhile to buy the Essentials kit (which probably would include an appropriate license) and VM Explorer, so I registered assess vCenter 5 in the hope that it would give me a temporary license for the hosts. That doesn't seem to be the case, unless I'm missing something.

  Is there a way to do this?

  For the assessment of vSphere 60 period begins just after installation without needing a license key (this is why you do not get one). For systems installed longer than 60 days, you need a proper license key. Contact a partner of VMware or VMware sales representative to see if they can provide you with a trial key.

  My scenario:

  -A server ESXi 3.5 running several comments

  -Access via VI Client

  -No VirtualCenter Server

  What license for I need if want to use the VMWare converter?

  Thank you

• 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).

• 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?

• 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.
