Licence question

Hi,

I have a question about licencing, we got VMware esx 3.5 up and running jan 2008.

I have heard that the licences expire after three years? is that correct?

If so how do I go forward to renew my vmware product licences, I tried contacing vmware but they just send me a support renewal contract.

No. Your license are permanent.

Your license for 3.5 won't expire, but if you want to upgrade them to 4.0 you must have active support contract.
