ESXi 5.5 is free for used just on 1 server or I need a license ?

[RecNardo]

Dear all,

I've installed ESXi 5.5 on 1 server, I thought that ESXi is always free but at the end of installer I've seen that ESXi is free just for 60 days .... I need it just for create 1 or 2 VMs with no HA or cluster situations ... could you help me before of starts working on it, please ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi welcome to the communities,

yes there is a free ESXi version, but you will need to register at

Download VMware vSphere Hypervisor for Free

to get a free license code for your server.

Use the Hypervisor. It is free and fits your requirement.
