Where to get free ESXI key?

[m1k30rz]

Hi there,

In my account I only have version 4.1 key available, I have some hardware which does not seem to run on 4.1 but I installed 5.0 and it runs fine, only problem is I am stuck in 60day trial!

Thanks

-Mike

On the licensing portal there's a message stating that they expect to have serial numbers generated by the end of the week.

If you're using the free edition, you might try signing up with another account to see if you get a 5.0 serial number.  Otherwise,  just login to the download page next week to see if a 5.0 serial number is posted then.
