can't get second eval license?

We have one licensed copy of ESX Server.

I have ordered a second, for a second system.

I downloaded the ESX 3.5 software and burned myself a CD, and then applied for another eval license so I can install it while waiting for the license (our partner told me they can't even order them yet).

When I click on the "Activate Evaluation Now" it gets confused and alternately tells me that it can't verify my password, even though I was already logged in, or that the service is unavailable.

ESX 3.5 can run for 60 days in an unlicensed mode. this is fully functional.

Get a hold of licencing and they will either fix the one you currently have or issue you another eval license.

Hope that helped. Smiley Happy
