ESXi 6 free. Might be a stupid question, but how/where to get the license from?

Greetings all,

When ever I try to download and then get access to the license key for ESXI Hypervisor 6.0 free I'm being redirected to "My wmware" page where I can download /select the  "vSphere and vSphere with Operations Management", but that does not provide me with a licens key as it just run in a 60 day trial.

Even if I try a direct link such as: https://my.vmware.com/en/group/vmware/evalcenter?p=free-esxi6 it would fail, is this case I would be told "You have not registered for this product." and if I hit the [Register] button it would take to "My wmware" page and the loops continue....

Is the past when downloading the 5.0, 5.5 and such there where a section at the download page named Component  where the likens key where listed, I don't see that part any more.

So what I'm missing here?

Regards

Otto

If I remember once the trial runs out it defaults to the free version
