I recently downloaded the ESXi Hypervisor Free edition. Now i need to know whether the given license during the download will expire in a period of a time or we can use it continuously. Also there was nothing mentioned about any expiration of the given key while downloading. Thanks in advance.
Hi and welcome to the communities,
I think it won't expire, but you can check by connecting with the vSphere client to the ESXi host, to to configuration -> licensed features.
It either shows an expiration date there or just says "never".

Welcome to the Community,
The free Hypervisor license doen't expire. Just make sure you enter the license key, otherwise the host will run in a 60-day evaluation mode.
