VMUG Advantage EVALExperience licensing

atrous — Fri, 17 Sep 2021 07:53:08 GMT

Hi,

I am planning to take VMUG Advantage Membership. I want to setup a Home Lab to learn ESXi/VSphere and stuff.I was told the licenses to the products expire after 365 days.If I renew the membership every year, will I be able to use the lab setup or will I have to rebuild all VM's and settings again?? I tried finding this information in many places but could not get any.

I was told EVALExperience licenses do not require lab re-builds when the licenses expire. You simply renew, get new license keys, add them to vSphere, and then migrate your products over to the new keys. Does this work???

Thanks,

Atrous

Per the FAQ, one can renew and get a new license.
