ESX upgrade costs

[Ketonal]

Hi

My company use ESXi 4,5 Essential (3 host cluster with 2 CPU each) for quite a long time with expired Sns (for 1.5 year) and now they want to upgrade to 5.5 I found that license will stay essential but i cant figure how much it will cost ... Can somebody help me get through this ? We need to pay for expired SnS (this 1.5 year) as it costed that time or as it cost now ? If its not full 2 years than do we pay normal ? And how much time will it takes form the moment we pay to the moment we get the option to upgrade ?

The best idea is to contact a VMware Software Partner like CDW - they will be able to provide you the cost to bring your existing license back under SnS -

You should contact your partner or local VMware sales-team to figure out your best option.
