ESX 3.5i License

Guys, I have downloaded a copy of 3.5i and have also received a license key.

Can I use the same license key if I install 3.5i on two seperate hosts, or do I need to obtain another license key?

If you're referring to the free copy yes, I believe when you sign up there is a small questionnaire on how many hosts you'll be licensing against. I believe the technical limit or at least the written limit is like 10,000 or something like that. It's fine that you put it on your two hosts, else you would need a new email to register as the license keys are tied to email accounts.

ESX licenses are per CPU amount. If you have 2 CPU hosts - then divide the licence by 2.
