Hi all,
I was wondering if someone could be me some clarification on upgrading my vmware. Currently I am using the free ESXi version 4.0.0 build 398348. I now have a number of guest os's running on the server. I would like to upgrade to the latest version but have not been able to find the information I need to perform this task outside of starting from scatch on the server. I there an upgrade path?
Thank you for your time in advance.

Yes you can upgrade that without doing a reinstall. However because you have the free version, you'll have to run the update using vihostupdate.
Check out this KB article for more info:
For the 4.1 upgrade see:
The ESXi 5 is not yet avaible.
Probably on August.
And also NOTE you may be limited with the free version and the new vRAM restriction (only 8 GB of vRAM in the free edition).

Thank you for the information and the heads up. I was just about ready to up the server to 16gb . When I get all four guests going things get a little slow.
This answer will work for me. Thank you for your help.
