Hi, when I try open
https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/evalcenter?p=free-esxi6
i`am redirected to
https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/evalcenter?p=free-esxi7
So I dont have option to download 6.7 iso or copy my free key.
But still is possible download 5.5 and got my key for this version
when I use
https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/evalcenter?p=free-esxi5
Why version 6.x in unanavailable for me and what can I do to get my 6.x key and download iso ?
You need a time machine....
still have access to 5.5 version and for 5.5 license key ... so time machine for this version working
So I understand, that my 6.7 keys disappeared for ever ? 😕 Annoying message 😕
There are countless threads about this topic since vSphere 7.0 comes available for download and the answer was always the same.
Regards,
Joerg
My fault because I dont found this similar threads. But I think a information about this fact at myvmware instead of redirection will be better solution
And what is the answer? Can you paste a link? Countless in an ocean is not that many...
Try this link, it works for me :
looks like the free 6.7 has been made available again not sure how long it will be available:
If I try the link to download the free license for version 6.7, I am automatically redirected to 7.0. I specifically need 6.7 because my RAID controller works with 6.7, but not version 7.0. I'm sure that until a month or two ago it was possible to access the 6.7 license. Is it now definitively impossible?
I'm having the same issue did you happen to find a solution?
Since all 6.x versions are no longer supported by VMware, it makes sense for them to no longer offer free keys.
So for those of us that have mass storage adapter that is still in use on millions of devices that IS supported on 6.7 that have had a catastrophic failure on a perfectly good release...go pound sand?
Welp, gonna have to go BACK to a different vendor's hypervisor.
When I originally installed my v6.7 host, I recorded my 25-char key in my password vault. When I had to rebuild my instance, I used the same ISO boot disk to install 6.7 from scratch and I was able to apply the key from two years ago when I first got it.
Not sure if you have that old key, but for anyone else coming to this thread, it will work using the old key. I save everything all the time for situations like this.
Can we help me get a free license for vsphere 6.7?
No, because that product version has been end of life for some time now.
Thanks... Proxmox here I come...
