Esxi - License

Hi Guys,

I've downloaded ESXi software and installed it.

it was all working fine until today.

I thought ESXi was free but on one host, it tells me I don't have enought license and can't boot up the VMs.

On the other one I have installed later, it tells me I have 35 days left...

Do we get only 60 days with ESXi ?

Thank you

Florent

60 days is license interval for Evaluation mode with Enterprise Plus functionality.

You need to enter serial number for free esxi.

After you answer some questions and press continue you'll get EMail with activation link. Go to this location and you'll get your serial number.

Hi

After 60 day evaluation license you need to add a license...which is FREE. But you won't have any of the enterprise level features available anymore with this free key.
