Activation VMWare ESXi 5.5

Bonjour,

Je n'arrive pas à activer ma licence VMware ESXi 5.5

Apres appel au support, KB suivant :

http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2014574

En cliquant sur "Affecter une licence à l'hôte ESXi" je connecte sur mon profile My VMware...

Mais impossible d'activer

Qui connait la procedure pour activer la version 5.5 ?

Merci

Unless you already have a license key, register at Download VMware vSphere Hypervisor for Free to get a free key. Then follow the steps mentioned in the knowledge base article you posted to enter the license key on the ESXi host.

Hi,

I use the link Download VMware vSphere Hypervisor for Free and when i connect to my VMware profile, il have a product Key

When i enter this Product key on my VMware, DOWNLOAD => MORE => PRODUCT REGISTRATION, I have the message "The License key is already registered"

I call tehe support of WMware and he said to me, the licence key is not necessary for this product !

When i launch VMware ESXi 5.5, the system, ask to me a registration and indicate 23 days...

Thanks

You should take the key you got after registration, Go to your vSphere client and click on Configuration tab---->Software--->licensed features---->Edit--->Assign new license key--->Enter key and paste the key. After that the error will go away.

"Fonction autorisées" is the french translation of "Licensed features", so that's where you will find the option to enter the license key.
