Download vSphere Server 5.5 Trial

I'm trying to build my own test lab to help study for an exam.  I have two ESXi 5.5 Hosts built using the Trial versions, but I can't seem to find v5.5 for vSphere Server -- only v6.0.0.  I did try and install v6.0.0 and had major problems (browser issues).  Is there any way I can get v.5.5 (with all updates) anywhere?

I tried that, but it takes me to the same page that's only offering 6.0.0.  Thanks, anyways!

Try here: https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/evalcenter?p=free-esxi5

Got to it by clicking through My VMware downloads, so that might be another way to try Smiley Happy

Crap... I thought that was right, but I need vSphere Server 5.5, not the ESXi5 Hypervisor... already have that.

you can download vSphere 5.5 from VMware vSphere 5: Private Cloud Computing, Server and Data Center Virtualization 

You can download the 5.5U2 latest update release build.

If you find any answer useful. please mark the answer as correct or helpful.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work, either.  When I click on the Download link, it prompts me to log in.  After I do, I get the attached message.  When I click on the Trial link, I only see 6.0.0.
