Where to get the license key from?

I have installed the free version of ESXi 5 and the 60 day license is about to expire.  Where do I get the free license from?

You can get the free code from here: https://www.vmware.com/go/get-free-esxi

Login with your credentials, you will see the licence under "License Information".

VMware offers only 60 days evaluation for the users to test and evaluate. If you want to use it further you will have to buy the license. If your environment is small you can go for the Essentials kit.
