Registration ESXi 6.x

[TheSephi]

Hi,

Hopefully this is the right place to ask this question.

I've installed ESXi 6.7 on a remote server (I don't have physical access to it, and am limited by what the company offers)

However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to register it. I can get keys for 5.5 and 7.0, but the links on the 6.x page are broken and won't allow me to register. I can't get technical help because the technical support page just loops and the "can get technical support" is broken too. I'm at my wits end here. What can I do to register this thing?

Regards,

Hello

If you are referring to Free licenses these are obtained by logging into My VMware (user and password), then you must register the product to obtain the Free license. Currently available in version 7 and 6 attached link.

You must have user and password (you can register for free) it is recommended that it is with a business email.

If you have problems it is probably because of your browser, try from a private browser window without adblocker active (like adblock).

If you have paid licenses from your company, you must request the user and password in your company with which you registered those licenses in VMware and you could upgrade or downgrade to version 6 depending on your software contract and subscription is valid to date.

Ah thank you very much. That worked perfectly.

VMware published a KB which contains the links as well.

I know. The links didn't work for me until I used a new incognito window
