Whether the eval version does or does not, I can't say. Generally, vCenter Server also requires a key. Example, you have a key for up to eight CPU sockets, you can use same key for up to four two-socket hosts, two four-socket hosts, eight single-socket hosts, etc. Yes, you can use the same key for multiple ESXi hosts, to the extent that you've used all the resources included in the key. Add your license key.įinally, assign that key to each of your ESXi hosts. You don't have any VMware products already installed with other keys, or expired keys by any chance, do you? Here's the interesting part Add your ESXi servers to vCenter. Maybe the eval versions offered are crippled in some way? What's odd is that the regular versions of vCenter Server and ESXi run in all-features-active mode during their evaluation periods if not licensed. I haven't dealt with VMware evals in a very long time and they do tend to change policies on occasion. If you can't get a full-function key via the VMware site, you may need to contact a reseller and ask them to get you a key. I think in that un-keyed version of vCenter Server you downloaded, you're limited in functionality. I think dbeato is correct that you don't need a license key with the eval that is generally offered. How can I get trial licence number for ESXi and vcenter servers? Thanks for your answer!įor a trial key, you need to register for a free trial of the product.
