  I made an iso file for windows 10. I am waiting to upgrade until all the bugs are being developed. My question is: will the iso file of windows 10 still work to upgrade my computer to windows 7 after the date limit to install the free version?

  The ISO will work after the date limit, but you can buy Windows 10 after the date limit, if you don't improve and activate it before that date.

  Windows 10 is delivered as a service:

  Windows July 10 release - build 10240

• Upgrade to vSphere 5.0 more essential Kit to vSphere 6 same product

  Hello

  We are State school running vSphere 5 essential Plus Kit with 3 Esxi hosts and 50 virtual machines.

  I have the following questions.

  1. could we improve this essential kit more vSphere vSphere 5 6 kit essential if yes;

  2. must pay an extra fee to upgrade.

  3. how smooth is the process of upgrading by using the Update Manager.

  4 how long it should take 3 host Esxi and vCenter 5 server to upgrade.

  Thank you for taking the time and answering in advance.

  Thanks - zang

  1. could we improve this essential kit more vSphere vSphere 5 6 kit essential if yes;

  Yes, it is possible.

  2. must pay an extra fee to upgrade.

  If the SnS (Support and subscription) is active, you can upgrade free of charge, see: VMware KB: how to upgrade license keys in my VMware

  3. how smooth is the process of upgrading by using the Update Manager.

  If you have unused production capacity to accommodate all your virtual machines in only 2 guests, you can do the upgrade without any interruption in your environment.

  4 how long it should take 3 host Esxi and vCenter 5 server to upgrade.

  It depends, but I think that 4-6 hours is more than enough.

• internet security AVG 2011 freeze computer @ free version upgrade

  I bought the full version before the expiry of the 'free' version I had received before the expiry date, which had a box of activation click on a popup.  I have had no problems to download the upgrade, everything worked well until the date has passed for the free version, is I was not in need of my computer this day.  So the next time I started the windows vista that it froze right now that I moved the mouse box avg telling me my free trial has expired.  That's all! I tried in fixing, also tried SafeMode system restore to a date prior to the expiration date.  Ive used my phone to find info... it seems that I'm not the only others have had what seems to be

  the same or similar situations.  No offer of solutions to the quandry. The uninstall option was not a solution according to the positions and this problem...  Please I can't afford a redesign which seems to be the plan of the choice of most users.

  This is my life line due to disability, most of my communication is done through "unzipped" highway  Mucho gracias if anyone has a way to back on the road again!

  If you can use the Mode safe mode with networking, try to download the AVG Remover from here:

  http://www.Avg.com/GB-en/utilities

  If you can not download, you must download the Remover on another computer, copy it to a Flash drive and then try to use it on your computer.

  Because you have paid for AVG, you should be able to access the phone or AVG online support via the site milimel.com for your country. For example, http://www.avg.com/gb-en/support

• Upgrade a licensed version of ESX to a free version.

  I have an ESX 4.1 licensed version and need to change it to ESXi 5.x free version.  I 1VM on the host and need to keep it.  Does anyone know if I can pass a version under license to a free version and keeping the virtual machine.

  Upgrade to ESXi 5.x requires adding a new key license anyway, and if your host has no more than 32 GB of physical memory and you have all the features in use, which do not appear in the edition of free hypervisor, you can enter the free license key.

  If there are problems with active features (such as host-Agent, vMotion,...) you could pass to ESXi 5.x by selecting "install, preserve VMFS. This will install an own ESXi, but keep the data store and you'll just need to re-register the virtual machine to inventory (right click on the file in the data store .vmx) after you have configured the options of the host, such as networking, NTP...

• ESXi 4.0 (free version) to upgrade to ESXi 4.1 (or 5?)

  I contacted the licenses support who told me that I was using the free version, and that the 4 4.1 update was not available.

  He said he thought that it would be possible to download the 4.1 update 3 installable and who would work to upgrade.  Is this true?

  I'm basically just trying get the USB so my Backup Exec Server passthrough feature will keep panicking because I'm trying to backup over the network.

  Now there is always a small risk to change a running system, so the best is to check that you have a good backup.

  Anyway, the ESXi 5 installation CD will discover the installed version and ask you what to do. The options are an upgrade of the host or installation (with or without preserving the existing data store).

  André

  PS: Do not try with the ESXi 4.1 installation CD. This will overwrite the installation disc!

• esxi free upgrade to VMware vSphere Essentials Kit

  Hi we are a small company with a new 1 and 1 old server sent us this question for the Department sales of vmware but have had no response.

  We have two questions we hope that someone has had a few experiences with.

  Currently we use free on our new server esxi5 if we buy VMware vSphere Essentials Kit

  1. is it just a matter of the conclusion of the license in the free version of esxi to give it functionality increase so there is not need to reinstall things?

  2 if we have VMware vSphere Essentials Kit it would allow us to use tools such as quest vRanger pro or Acronis vmProtect for backup and replication connection.

  It would be much cheaper than the use of VMware vSphere Essentials Kit pro and seems to do the same job.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community!

  Is it just a matter of the conclusion of the license in the free version of esxi to give it functionality increase so there is not need to reinstall things?

  Yes enter vSphere Essentials Kit License keys will unlock the applicable for this Kit features, re - install ESXi will be not be held

  If we have VMware vSphere Essentials Kit it would allow us to use tools such as quest vRanger pro or Acronis vmProtect for backup and replication connection.

  vSphere Essentials Kit inclused vStorage APIs for Data Protection so you should be good to use the third-party data protection software

• Error after upgrade to ESXi 5 Update 1 on free version

  At all a ghettoVCBg2 got another run properly after the upgrade to ESXi 5u1 via vMA 5 when it's the free version?

  I have a couple of free machine and they are the only ones having problems. My verson licensed production work very well.

  The error I get on free machines is as follows:

  Failed to get vim_service - the session object is not initialized or not connected to the line /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/VMware/VICommon.pm 1654
  Perl came out with active threads:
  1 running and spare
  0 finished and spare
  0 running and detached

  I find autour and trying different solutions to simular errors (for example, by adding the debugging of CARP), but nothing works.

  None of the 1 post update fixes fixed either.

  ghettoVCB works very well on the free servers however.

  So, I'm curious if anyone has seen this problem?

  I guess that the reason is that ghettoVCB2 was built for the paid editions that allow write API access.

  There was some editions which do not restrict this access, as you can see in "Support of ESX/ESXi Version table" at http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9843. The initial version of ESXi 5.0 is / was one of them, considering that the update 1 is even more restrictive.

• Upgrade to ESXi 5.1 (free version) to vSphere Enterprise Plus 5.1

  I've been running the free version of ESXi for a few years now and I am currently on version 5.1. Recently, I decided to buy Enterprise Plus licenses to take advantage of features such as vShield and agent less backups.

  in any case, I loaded the new license in vSphere client and it shows now all the options available in Enterprise Plus. The profile of the iMage is ESXi - 5.1xxxx - standard. Is it enough just to load the new license or is there a different image that I need to use instead?

  If it's a different picture can I put it on top of what is installed without losing the guests?

  THX!

  It won't matter. Host---> Configuration---> Licensed features---> if it shows more Enterprise, then you will have all the features. I have attached a screenshot to show what he looks like. If it's the same then you don't have to worry.

  

• Upgrade server ESX 3i, 3.5.0 123629 (free version)

  I have two ESX servers used in a small business environment.  Main server running ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 123629 (free version). Backup server is running ESX Server, version 3.5.0 123630 (VI3 Foundation Edition).  I use Veeam Backup and replication to replicate from the primary server to watch on a daily basis.  I need to update the license on the production server running the free version to match the standby server edition Foudation.  Can I just ask a license to the Foundation on the running production server using the VI client or is more complicated than that?

  That is right.

• Still, VmWare offers a free version of the reader for Windows?

  Hey all

  New here, but I have an account for years.

  I have problems with a Linux distro installed in my version of Windows 7 VmWare 7.1.3 build 3206955 and start watching to see if I had the latest version of VmWare. When I click on search upgrades of VmWare, I get "No update available", then a message to get the 12 workstation. I can't find a link to a free version more. What I see is a paid version of Workstation Player 12 if a link to FAQ mentions free for home use.

  I had to upgrade to this version?

  It will be free for me (home use)?

  It will be compatible with my ONE and ONLY Kubuntu 14.04 distro? (I've read some complaints on this forum of not being able to load the old installs after upgrade)

  Are there benefits to upgrade (if it's free)?

  Are there precautions to be considered for an upgrade (again, so free)?

  Thanks in advance for any help provided.

  Hi Golem,

  VMWare Workstation has two different flavors:

  -Workstation 'Pro '.

  -Workstation 'Player '.

  Both can do the same, and both are paid ESSENTIALLY software...

  But as "Pro Workstation" has more advanced features (that you may never) it is more expensive than "Workstation Player".

  And VMWare said explicitly that the use of VMWare Workstation Player is FREE if you use it for commercial purposes.

  Of course, it then comes between you and your conscience :-)

  Workstation Player installation you are prompted for a serial number, but can decide to leave this field empty by saying that you will use for a commercial use.

  I think all versions of Workstation are equal performance wise. They differ only features wise.

  As I have not used Workstation before a few weeks, I can't tell if you get all the benefits if you are upgrading an earlier version.

  Kind regards.

• Newbie question: ESXi 6.0 free vs vSphere Essentials Kit

  I currently have a server host running ESXi 5.5 (free version), accommodation mainly a lab with SQL servers and workstations Windows infrastructure.

  I plan to upgrade the vSphere Essentials Kit and I was wondering what are the additional benefits I would get paid Kit essentials ESXi free 6.0 vs.

  So far, I can think of the following:

  -Possibility to install on two additional host servers (however I don't really have this requirement for the moment)

  -Compatibility with VMWare as ALTARO and VEEAM backup software. (This would be beneficial)

  What are the other benefits Essentials Kit would offer a server environment unique host which would be sufficiently attractive to force one to go compared to the free version?

  Thank you for any comments.

  ArnieC

  Another great advantage will be the Server vCenter which adds lots of features and will help you manage all three hosts. Have a look here some of the additional benefits: http://www.vladan.fr/esxi-free-vs-paid/

• Standard managed via vCenter essential Kit

  Hello

  We got 3 ESXi 4.1 cluster host, but the version doesn't matter, because we want to upgrade in the nearly future. The thing is that we also want to expand our infrastructure, lets say with 2 new hosts. This cluster has a kit with a single instance of critical vCenter more essential. If buy us a license for vCenter standard server and a standard for this 2 new host license will be able to manage in a Standard vCenter? (essentially more host kit 3 + host vSphere standard 2 - by vCenter)

  I dive with care through all licenses pappers from documentation and white, so I know that essential kits does not exceed 3 host limit, but if I buy the standard for vCenter license will be I be able to manage the two cluster throug or I have to re license old Kit essential cluster?

  I hope his celar enough

  Wojtek

  It does not work. Kits only Essentials, you can manage with vCenter Server Standard are the "Retail and Branch Office Kits". In your case, you will need to purchase CPU licenses for all guests. What may be interesting to watch from a cost standpoint, is an upgrade of the Kit Essentials Plus a kit of acceleration (including vCenter Server Standard and 6 licenses processors) and then buy the CPU licenses also required.

• A new doubt on the license - VMware vSphere Essential Kit

  Hi guys,.

  I play virtualize physical servers in the company I work (about 10 smaller servers).

  To start some tests, I bought a Dell r.620 server with two processors and 64 GB of RAM.

  I think buy just one license of VMware vSphere Essential Kit, just to test some features, management, and support provided by VMware.

  My doubt is: to support all the RAM (64 GB), I have purchase a license of the vSphere Essential Kit, or I need TWO?

  I'm a little confused on how much physical RAM memory on a single server, the vShpere Essential Kit can handle.

  OK, I know I can use a free version. But this test server will be transformed into a production server, and that the price of the vSphere Essential Kit is very good, I would buy it and start my test as a test of "production"...

  Guys, sorry for my bad English, it is not my mother tongue. =(

  Thanks much for any help.

  Hi Alex,

  Since you are doing a test on a single server so a Kit should be good at this point. In addition to Essential Kit do not fully support 64 GB of RAM so no need to buy two. Only the free versions have limits in support of only 32 GB of RAM.

  Diagram below will give you a good idea on the different Kits.

  Also, you can read about licensing and prices here: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vsphere/VMware-vSphere-Pricing-Whitepaper.pdf

  

  Please let us know if you have any other questions.
