Registering ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0

[hanbe325]

Hi,

I just installed VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 and then the VMware

Infrastructure Client on another computer to control it. When I logged on using

the Infrastructure Client it says I have 54 days remain.

I'm not sure if this refers to the Infrastructure Client or to the ESX

server. I thought both products where available for free?

If it's the ESX server how do I register the dam thing? I'm sure it’s really

simple I just can't find the option.

Does anyone have a simple tutorial for setting up and managing ESX Server?

When you downloaded the ISO file for ESX 3i you would have had to haved logged in and you would have been sent a licence file. Through your VI client you can go to the licence under the configuration option and naviagte to your license file.

ESXi will be in eval until you registered for your free license, I believe you can get that information at: http://vmware.com/support/licensing.html

Once you've received your license key, login using your VI Client and go to configurations->licensed features and add the license key.
