Free ESXi licence for dual cpu server

We have a HP DL380 with dual quad core Xeons and 16Gb of RAM, we have been using a trial licence on it which has now expired but I can not find where I can get the free ESXi licence from that will allow both CPUs to be used.

We have a full HP VMBlade environment already but we want to use this box as a test VM system.

Can anyone point me in the right direction

Thanks

Dave

seem to be duplicated post, however:

To register and download the free version follow this link http://www.vmware.com/go/get-free-esxi for details see http://www.vmware.com/products/esxi/

There's no need to reinstall, just enter the free license key which you receive after registration.

There's no restriction on the physical CPU count either with free-licensed ESXi.
