Buy ESXi 6.7.0 licence

I wish to create VM's with more CPU power than allowed on the free version but cannot find anywhere to purchase the required licence, even VMWare helpbot cannot help and refuses to put me in contact with a human being, can someone send me a link of where to buy from please.

VMware license can only be purchased for the current version, which is 8.0 at this time.
However, once purchased, and registered in your VMware Customer Connect Portal account, you can downgrade license keys to earlier versions directly in the portal, i.e. v8 -> v7 -> v6.
From how I understand you needs, the least expensive offering "vSphere Essentials Kit" might be to version to go for.
You can purchase licenses either from resellers, or directly on the VMware online shop at https://store.vmware.com/

PS: I assume that you are aware that vSphere 6 went out of support last year.
