ESXi 7.0 - Free vs Paid Licenses

I've installed HPE Customized Image ESXi 7.0.0 (version 700.0.0.10.5.5 released on June 2020 and based on VMware ESXi 7.0.0) and have been using it in evaluation mode for a while. I want to learn if I can keep using the free version with some limitations after the evaluation period ends.

I've found this announcement by VMware but I couldn't find a detailed explanation of what limitations the free version (i.e., ESXi 7.0.0) have.

Could you help me with this?

I assume that the same goes for ESXi 7.0 as the article uses ESXi 6.5.0a to test the functionality of the free version.

Anyway, thanks for your help.
