Hi all,

Is it possible to upgrade from ESXi 5.1 to 6.0 with the actual license?

Thanks in advance,

Hi @OrestDautovi

Check License key requirements for new version of VMware products

Hi OrestDautovi,

You can upgrade the ESXi, but once you have version 6.0 you will also need to upgrade the license from 5.x to 6.x. Remember also that the End of General Support for vSphere 6.0 was March 12, 2020.

@OrestDautovi

If you are running anything like production workloads, note that only 6.5 and later is supported and updated.
