how to determine if it is free!!!!!

[fitzie22]

I have been troubleshooting SNMP issues with Dell Openmanage and they have asked if the version of 3.5i that I have installed it the free one or the enterprise one. I am not sure how to determine that. Can anyone let me know?

Login using the VI Client and click on your host, to the right there should be some tabs that say Summary, Virtual Machines and there should be on that says Configuration, click on that and at the bottom there is License Features, if it's free you would have registered it online with VMware and received a key and it should look something like this:

If you see more features than that OR if it says EVAL, then no you're not using the "free liensed version" of ESXi

so i take it that i DO NOT have the free one

Yep, it's definitely not the free version. If you want to know which license you have, login to vCenter if you're not already and at the top click on View->Administration->Licensing, this should tell you which license you're currently consuming/etc.
