You will need to register your free version and you will receive a license that needs to be applied to you ESXi host -  more information can be found here - https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/index.php?p=free-esxi&lp=1

If you follow the link provided and login with communities user name and password - you will be taken to the down load where you will be provided a license key

Don't forget that once you apply this key you lose all but the bare licensing features (4 way SMP and 256GB max ram per VM). Smiley Happy

(This is in case you had some advanced features in use, like vCenter)
