ESXi in evaluation mode

[extjama]

Hello all,

I'm running ESXI on my Raspberry Pi4 since about half a year. I'm running 3 virtual machines on it. Since the early beginning I noticed that there seems to be an timeout of the license. Now there is nearly one month of the evaluation mode is left and I wonder what happens after this period?

What does it take to extend the license? Sorry for this question but I struggled in finding a useful answer on the website.

I'm using ESXI on ArmFling V 7.0.0.

The usage is pure private. Let me know if you need some further information.

Thank you in advance.

With best regards.

Hello

Thank you for that link. Let's assume I decide to select option 3, using the free license for the hypervisor (don't exactly know what this is), will I be able to do this things with it manually by the web-gui? 

Switch on/off VMs

Add/Delete VMs

Edit VMs (like shifting hard disk space)

Manage storage (simple tasks - like adding a new hard disk)

Thank you so much.
