I'just download the vsphere 60 days evaluation, i choose to use Vcenter, when i try to configure the orchestrator trough the Vcenter Orchestrator configuration web page i cannot finish the instalation until i write the license for the product, i have been searching for that licence on the vmware activation web page but i can't see it, any one knows where i can get this serial number?
i install the ESX succesfully but i need to test all the vcenter functionality.
thaks for your help,
regards,
Javo.

Thanks for your reply Virtual_Bee,
i have that guide, and i know where i have to write the license, but if i not have the number i cannot finish the installation of the startup options, so, my problem is that i don't know where to find the serial number, i don't have the key ( a trial one ), any ideas?

Startup Options
Prerequisites

Make sure that all of the status indicators display a green circle. You cannot start the Orchestrator server if any
of the components is not configured properly. ( my license tab indicator is in red because i don't have a number )
thanks for your attention.
Javo, let me check internally. I'll get back to you soon.

Javo,
Did you receive any vCenter Standard license key when you've signed up for vsphere evaluation? I know VC has an eval mode as a feature, but did you receive any additional license key? If not, a new eval key will be issued to you.

I've the same problem as JAVOMEJI.
I also want to evaluate the vCenter, but I don't have a Serial Number.
So could you please send me an Evaluation Key for vCenter Orchestrator?
Thanks

Hello,
I too have the same problem
I have installed the evaluation version of vCenter, And want to evaluate the vCenterOrchestrator, but I don't have a Serial Number.
So could you please send me an Evaluation Key for vCenter Orchestrator?
Thanks
But I don't have an existing vCenter license key.
Hello,
I have the same trouble with the evaluation licence.
Is it solvable ?

Hi all,
I've got the same problem, no serial key for orchestrator. Just emailed sales@vmware with request for a temporary key. Waiting for answer....
Hello,
is VMWare not interested in new customers? This issue is not responded to since 26.6. I mailed the VMWare support a week ago, all I got was the answer to read the manual. After I explained the problem thre was no response form the support team ....
So - also still waiting for answer....
Hi,
First, I want to apologise for all the delays.
Orchestrator is a somehwat advanced functionality for vSphere and for the moment not a part of the evaluation. For now, if you would like to evaluate vCO, please contact your VMware sales team, or a VMware partner and ask that a vCenter Server eval license be generated for you.
Thank you for your patience.
