VMWare ESX Serial Number Activation

VMWare Logo

If you have set up VMWare ESX you will find that it defaults to the evaluation version giving you 60 days of unlimited use. But, how do you apply your serial number? We have created a quick video below to help you with this easy process:

When using this in a lab environment, you could use the stripped-back version of VMWare ESX with unlimited usage using the serial number below (as detailed in the video):

    @A.J. Armstrong im looking for 5.5 key

  2. I agree, does anyone have a 5.5 license with VCenter as well.

  3. Hello bro, any new key for 5.5u3?

  4. No, vCenter is a licensed piece of software.

    Any idea when we’ll see vSphere 7 keys?

    1. No sign of them from VMWare yet I’m afraid, they are still only offering keys for 6.7 eval.

    Serial not working with Veeam “Backup and Replication”. It stops with error “Current vSphere licence or ESXi version prohibits execution the requested operation”. Without serial (60 days evaluation mode) works Veeam fine. Any solution? Another key?
