Here is the direct link: https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?productId=230&downloadGroup=ESXI41U3

BUT, you will may need a active support contract.

Thanks for the link, and yes you are right it doesn't allow me to download it without support contract.

I need this to my home lab (I only have old HW available, what is not supported any newer ESXi versions)

so unfortunately support contract is not an option.

Any other suggestion to find free version of ESXi 4.1 U3 iso download would be much appreciated.

ps. I've installed and authorised Dell "version" of free ESXi 4.1 before, so I should have at least licence available on old Dell server installation if it agrees to boot anymore.

Thanks!

if you need it for your home lab I would try to install the newewst esxi version 6.0

if it's not supported doesn't mean that it does not work Smiley Happy

My issues are related to qNap iSCSI data stores, which are not supported on ESXI 5 or 6.

I do have ESXi 5.5 installation available here, but was hoping to try things with ESXi 4.1 what is officially supported with vmWare and qNap.

I'm not sure if I do misunderstand this but I assumed there is (at least was) free version of ESXi 4.1 available?

Could someone please confirm this?

If I go to my vmWare account I will be able to download free version of ESXi 5 and 6, but not version 4.

Under Dell support page, I'm able to download free versions of ESXi 4 and 5 but this time I don't have Dell server HW available.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thanks!
