Hi,

I have the same question but this does not answer it. The video regarding downgrading does not help. I do not have these menus in my account. I've installed Hypervisor 5 through a template on a dedicated server (apparently Hypervisor 6 seems to not support Xeon E3-1245 processors so I need Hypervisor 5). Registering with VMware only gives me a free license for Hypervisor 6 and that does not work on 5. Does anyone know if one can downgrade a free 6 license to 5?

This is what I see in my account:

Thanks,

Peter.
