• The free version of ESXI 5 can do grouping

  We are a small engineering company planning on buying 2 servers in a rack mount with two processors and had planned to start with the free version of VMware and then passing to the paid version in a year.  The free version can do the grouping with the servers with many CPU sockets?

  Sorry if this question has already been asked but I'm new to the site, and we expect the purchase soon.

  Sincerely,

  KHeinz

  Hello and welcome to the Forums!

  In order to consolidate the ESX host, you'll need vcenter but also of shared storage.  So, no you cannot cluster 2 hypervisor (ESXi) ESX hosts.

• Free converter of VMware ESXi datastore

  I need to convert a physical server in a virtual machine using VMware converter and have a few questions.

  (1) can I P2V in a data store with the free app converter VMware ESXi?

  (2) I need the physical machine to be still in production after the conversion, until I get the configuration of the virtual machine, that's how the conversion or I lose my physical server?

  Thank you

  David

  (1) Yes, it works perfectly, I did it a few times

  (2) this is how it works. You can choose to turn on after creation or not, and if you do not connect the network you can turn on the virtual machine and use it at the same time as the physical

• How can I obtain a license for the free version of ESXi?

  Where can I obtain a license for the free version? I installed ESXi 6 and it asks me to enter a license key.

  I tried to follow these instructions , but I don't see the option for requestion a license for my type of installation.

  That's what I'm running: VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.0.0-2494585.x86_64-Dell_Customized-A00.iso

  
  Thank you.

  You can get the license of VMware site as described on the blog post that you posted above, because there is no different license for OEM ISOs.

• The free version of ESXi 4.0 is that it certified EAL4?

  Hi all

  I installed the free version of ESXI 4.0 on server Fujutsu S300, I want to know that the free version of ESXi 4.0 is certified EAL4 or not.

  and I need to see the difference between the free version and the retail version.

  Thank you

  have you seen the blog below. If free or paid, the hypervisor is the same.  Licenensig unlocks / locks features, no security.

• Should what Management Interface I use for the free version of ESXi

  I plan on the implementation of the free version of ESXi on a server with Intel VT technology.

  I have a management interface for my free version of ESXi.

  I was told by someone that I need to manage VSphere.

  I can just purchse VSphere and should be fully compatible with the free ESXi?

  If so, should what version of VSphere I buy?

  What are my alternatives to a manageable GUI that won't cost too much? (I intend to manage only 5 virtual machines on the ESXi server)

  Thanks in advance!

  When you download the VI client from the http:// you the Virtual Infrastructure Client GUI.  Not a powershell environment.  See attached screenshot.

• Can I move/copy an ESX Server on the free version

  Afternoon everyone,

  
  I don't have all the details that I took things upwards, but will my data center no later than next week.  We have a (free) ESXi server with 1 windows host.  This machine is pretty old and I wanted to just bring on new hardware and move.  Of some initial discussions they say I can use a V2V converter or something like that, so the questions are;

  1 - is the favorite/best way to take a running windows server and move it to new hardware?

  2. it is part of the free version?

  I think that will be enough to let me order some hardware, I know there was a limit of CPU, RAM etc.  The machine is a one processor, 12 G of ram so not surprising, I just wanted to put a new quadcore CPU, maybe probably 24 32G of RAM and all SSD.  I don't want to get to a point where I have to spend $1 K on a license to simply keep the existing 1 windows machine.

  Thank you.  I don't know that there are a few others that this project is started.

  Thank you

  There are a few options to move virtual machines from one host to another. One - as you have already said - is to use the free VMware vCenter Converter Standalone, which is probably the easiest option. Another way to migrate the virtual computer would be to export the virtual machine as an OVF/EGGS and import it on the new host. Last but not lease, you can manually download files of the virtual machine to store data from the host ESXi (via WinSCP for example) and upload the file to the new host.

  Just make sure that your hardware is supported for ESXi version, you use to avoid frustration.

• Reinstall the old version?

  Previous version can be found here.

  http://FTP.Mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/Thunderbird/releases/

  The last free general release of disorder was v24.6.

  Go to the version you want. Find your operating system. Find your language. Then click on the executable installation file.

  Adobe DC uninstalled previous Adobe Reader, I want DC to uninstall and reinstall the previous version, but it won't let me because I don't have a serial number. How to bring back my previous version? I have a thesis to write and it's very bad timing!

  You will get the guest login/buy / subscribe your tools because you have not installed Acrobat. You have the free Acrobat Reader software. Make sure you understand the difference, it is a common problem, and often people who arrive in this position actually always have their available Acrobat.

• Need help, can't uninstall firefox from my PC to reinstall the updated version

  Tried uninstalling Vista program to get rid of XPCOM but does not. Can not reinstall the latest version of Firefox until this is done. What is the problem?

  Hello

  Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

  Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

     

     Click the close button

     

     ).

  3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
     • Windows:
       • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
       • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
     • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
     • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

  WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device! See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

  Please report to say if this helped you!

  Thank you.

   please help to stop those windows from popping
  

  Hello, this looks like a problem maybe caused by adware on your pc. Please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place and various other tools such as the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

  Remove a toolbar that has supported your Firefox or the homepage search
