    1. did u find a esxi 6 license key I need one and can’t get one free VMware as its not current version

  1. thanks – after a frustrating search on trying to find how to do this in vmwares website, a search for key generator lead me to this…. appreciated.

  2. 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?
