Re-evaluate VSphere ESX 4

Hello,

A while back I registered to evaluate ESX 4 for learning purposes, but didn't actually get around to activating the evaluation or installing. My evaluation period has expired, and now I can't download or evaluate again. Any suggestions?

Would evaluating with a trail period be the best way to learn in your lab before taking the VCP course?

Thanks,

Dustin

Just reinstall ESX, your evaluation will start again.

That makes sense, but I still need to get my hands on the ESX bits. When trying to download from the VMware site, I get a message to call sales.

Thanks for the tip btw.

Once you have downloaded, keep the iso and just reinstall back if you need to re-evaluate again. Using another email address to download it.
