Trying to download ESXi 6.5 from https://customerconnect.vmware.com/downloads/info/slug/datacenter_c

Hi, when I try to download Esxi 6.5 from VMware vSphere Hypervisor - VMware Customer Connect I Just keep being redirected to the download page for Esxi 7. Does anyone know why I can't download 6.5 but 7? Or does anyone know where I can download 6.5 from?

I have reported your thread to the moderators as it needs moving to the area for ESXi.

Yes, i can´t download anything from there (I dont have a subscription)
I signed up to get Esxi 7 for free and that works, but i also want Esxi 6 if that is possible.

When i go to All Downloads (vmware.com) And choose Esxi i get a dropdown menu where i can choose 7.0 and 6.5 but when i choose 6.5 and download i just get redirected to download 7.0

I don’t know if you can sign up for ESXi 6.5 now, since both it and 6.7 are no longer supported.

Ok, thank you. I just thought I could download it because it showed up in the dropdown menu.

https://customerconnect.vmware.com/downloads/details?downloadGroup=OEM-ESXI65U3-HPE&productId=614 <- Should be available via this link, problem is you are not able to get a license code. I also need it for an HP Proliant ML30 Gen9. (Or someone has a better idea.)

Would be nice to have that option, of have it upgraded to the latest versions with the compatibility stuff.
