Doubts about downgrade licenses

[antiqued4]

Hi guys, I know it's old and unsupported.
But really in this case I need a Vsphere 5 license to be able to use more than 32gb of memory.
Does anyone know if I can still find this license somewhere or if it is possible to downgrade the newer licenses to version 5.x

Hey @antiqued4 ,

To answer your question, please login to Customer Connect 

Select either Products and Accounts >Account > Manage Licenses from the top of the homepage or Manage Licenses Quick Link icon when you login.

Select one or more license key folders.

Highlight the checkbox next to the key to be downgraded. Alternatively, you can select Downgradable Licenses from the dropdown. All products that are eligible for the downgrade are displayed.

If you cannot see a downloadable license then it is not possible, however, you can always open a case with VMware, maybe they can do an exception for you.
