1. Re: [ESXI5.5.0] Not allowed to download ESXI5.5.0 Update 3b ?!?
a.p. Aug 19, 2019 10:40 AM (in response to LaurentJ75012)I have a free licence key (is it the reason ?)
Yes, that's the reason. Only customers with paid licenses can download it from VMware's web site.
However, if you need a specific version, you can build your own ISO/ZIP file using e.g. https://www.v-front.de/p/esxi-customizer-ps.html
Please be careful with updating your hosts in case they require additional (vendor specific) drivers.

AlessandroRomeo68 Sep 7, 2019 2:00 PM (in response to LaurentJ75012)Hi,
The compatibility matrix between the Esxi version and the Dell Power Edge 2900 Server is as follows:
I answer you only for this last question. I haven't checked the download link.
The latest version compatible with the Dell PowerEdge 2900 Server is the Esxi 5.5 U3 vmware version.
Sorry if I allow myself, but it is better to install a customized ESXI image officially released by DELL. I believe this is the last release of the 5.5U3-A12 released:
(even if your question is on the Esxi 5.5U3b version, my answer is just a suggestion)
VMware ESXi 5.5 Update 3 | Driver Details | Dell Albania
Support for PowerEdge 2900 | Drivers & Downloads | Dell Albania
I managed to download it without problems.
