License of VMWARE ESXI 4.0

I use VMware ESXI 4.0 server. According to my knowledge, it is a free version, but now I'm prompted that the license will expire. Do I need another key license or what can be done to continue to use it?

We registered you for the download of ESXi, you should have been sent by email a key.  This key must be installed which will define the end forever

  • Impossible to apply license in VMWare ESXi 5.5.0 after the expiration of the evaluation period

    Hello. I recorded and downloaded VMWare ESXi and VSphere about 2 months ago and got it running on our server.

    Today when I logged with VSphere, he said the trial period is over and I need to get a license.

    I connected to VMWare and checked the download link of VSphere with the binaries for 5.5.0 ESXI and VSphere 5.5.0 and told me that I had not registered for the product.

    I signed up for the product and the files were available and I also saw the license key at the top of the download area.

    I copied the license key and went to VSphere, connected to my ESXi and click on Configuration, feature under license and change.

    I Clicked New Assign will authorize and pasted the license key in the box and click ok.

    Then I clicked OK to close the "assign license Dialog", but it came with and error "an error occurred during the license specified key assignment: license is not valid for this product".

    I tried several times and have not been able to apply the license.

    Help, please!

    Check if you used the appropriate license key. Make sure that you do not vcenter licenses for Esxi host. Error message clearly indicates that the license key is not valid for this product...

    Kind regards

  • Cannot assign a license to VMware ESXi 5.0 hosts

    Dear all,

    I installed vCenter Server 5.0 standard IBM x 3550 M4 and VMware ESXi 5.0 Standard for two M4 IBM 3650 x servers. I can attribute vCenter Server Standard 5 license to vCenter Server 5.0 but I can't affect VMware vSphere 5 Standard licenses for both ESXi 5.0 servers. Each server has 2x6Cores 2.3 GHz CPU (12 cores total). VMware vSphere 5 licenses that we purchase are VMware vSphere 5 Standard for 1 processor (VS5-STD-C) x 12, which is unlimited cores per processor. Can someone tell me what is the problem here and the reason why I still can't assign license to two 5.0 ESXi hosts.

    Rgds,

    Syairus

    If I understand correctly you have 12 licenses for 1 CPU each! In order to assign a license to a host of the CPU, the license capacity must be equal to or greater than the number of the host CPU. You can combine licenses in the portal My VMware.

    BTW. for two host with 2 CPU each, you need only 4 licenses of CPU (not 12), as processors/sockets are allowed, not carrots.

  • License of VMware ESXi

    Hi all

    I want to know if the VMware ESXi can be used situation?

    Hi William - Welcome in the community.

    The answer is Yes.

    The free version of ESX, I can be uised in production - although you won't get any agreement with her support - so you don't have to rely on VMware etc. communities for support (not ideal for production)

    There are a series of oif types of licenses that can be puyrchased - according to your needs.

    I think VMWare are happy with thismodel, because once most companies see the benefits of VMware virtualization and save on hardware, etc., most go to buy licenses that include additional features such as vCenter, support, vMotion and so on.

    ESXi (free version) has not built DR (like HA), or the distribution of resources (DRS) - If you are quite limited.

    In short, although that - Yes is the answer to your question.

    PS - Your first install ESXi will give you access to all the functions for a limited time - but once this period runs out, you will be limited to a limited ESXi installation. ESXi is the complete functionility of normal ESX, when it is fully licensed.

  • free license of VMware ESXi 4.1

    I downloaded and installed ESXi installable iso 4.2 file, then installed. Later, I downloaded and installed the VIclient 4.1, when I login to my account at vmware, I see a key for ESXi 4.1, but I can't find is it possible to install/assign the key or on the server or the vclient, I always use the licnese assessment. Although the site indicates clearly that ESXi is free, and customer vShere can be used for free to manage a single server to the time, but I can not just replace the evaluation with the free license.

    Please adivise.

  • -= Decommissioning of a license key on ESXi host in order to import in vCenter Server Essentials 6 =-

    Our company recently bought a license for VMware vCenter Server 6 Essentials for vSphere (VCS6-ESSL-C) with license keys for VMware vSphere Essentials 6 for 1 processor (ha6-ESSL-C).

    I accumulated vCenter Server 6 on a physical device and assigned the new relevant license key, as well as installed Update Manager Server on this machine. This instance seems to be functional and functional.

    Now, I'm trying to import 3 x ESXi hosts in this environment which have the license keys from an environment "vSphere advanced 5. These 3 hosts are administered under an instance of VM of vSphere vCentre, that I want to the Commission under this license and the license on these hosts is no longer valid after a takeover of the company.

    Question:

    (A) Comment can I get correctly to the setting of these hosts so that I can use the new vSphere license key 6 that I received?

    (B) should I upgrade these hosts to v6 ESXi befin environment to use this new license key?

    (C) do I need to disable features on the hosts in order to apply to apply this license key "6 of vSphere Essentials?

    (D) what is the correct order for doing all these things to use this new environment vCentre?

    Thanks in advance for any assistance given.

    Concerning

    Grant

    I havn't done it myself yet, but I think you should be able to achieve your goal, follow these steps:

    -downgrade license keys CPU Essentials to v5 im Portal MyVMware

    -the value of the new vCenter Server Evaluation Mode (actually maybe not necessary)

    -Add the licenses of Essentials v5 license vCenter inventory 6

    -Add hosts to the new vCenter Server ESXi 5.5 and assign licenses Essentials guests

    -re - assign the license previously removed to vCenter Server

    Thank you


    You can find all downloads for VMwre to https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads. What you might want to look for are the links "Download trial" to "VMware Workstation" and "VMware vSphere. BTW. is there a reason you ask for older versions?

    For Windows Server, see download Windows Server 2008 R2 Evaluation (180 days) from the official Microsoft Download Center

    PS: In the past VMware has provided a free license of VMware Workstation after you have completed the requirements to become a VCP - DCV (i.e. necessary training, more exam). I'm sure they'll continue to do that.

  • VMWare ESXi under Virtual Box tests

    Hi all

    Just installed VMWare ESXi under VirtualBox with a free license to evaluate it before you consider moving my XCP it based VMs. However, after installation I can't pull up a single VM.

    I just create a 32-bit VM Debian base and fixed the Debian netinstall ISO on the CD player. However, when I try to turn on the virtual machine, it runs for a few seconds before turning off.

    I have attached the log file.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Andy

    The vmmcores.gz file shows that the EFER. The SCE bit is clear.  What explains the illegal opcode exception.  However, I don't see how EFER. CES has got to be clear.  What version of VirtualBox do you use?

    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.

  • 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.

  • VCenter Server with VMWare ESXi free 5 5

    Hi all

    Test the VCenter Server 5 Evaluation (60 day trial) to management all my 5 of VMWare ESXi (free license). It works with restrictions. These restrictions aren´t a problem for me. I need only to move (power off of virtual machines), clone, create templates for and organize my servers in a single interface VSphere Client. So, I would like to know what type of license of VCenter Server 5 woks if VMWare ESXi 5 free. Buy the VCenter Server 5 Standard?

    Another doubt is if VStorage works with VMWare ESXi free license I.

    Best regards

    Fabio Sobral

    Unfortunately the free ESXi hosts in vCenter management is not possible (except for the eval). The hosts of ESXi need a vCenter Server Agent license that is only available in editions 'paid' of ESXi.
