Hello,
Last year I installed ESXi 6.5 free version on one of our small office servers. Now we need to use it for another server. The 6.7 download is available after I login. I cannot find another page or link to create another free license for the new installation.
QUESTION: Can I use the same license key for multiple free ESXi installations? If not, what is the exact link for creating a new license key for the new host esxi installation?
Thank you.
You can use the license key for the free vSphere Hypervisor for a unlimited number of hosts (up to 100). This is what you can read on vmware.com.

Thank you, I wish this basic information was on the license page or next to the license key so users can know this without searching for hours.
It actually is exactly where you expect it to be, i.e. right below the "Download Packages" section.

can I register another licence with the same account? so i have 6.5 and for other maschine want 7.0 - is it posible ?
I mean still ESXI Free
Hello.
Yes, you can have VMware vSphere Hypervisor Free licenses in versions 6 and 7 (the links are different) registered with the same user.
In my personal case I have Free licenses in both versions.
