Hi,
i'm a student and want to install ESXi 3.5 update 5 on a old 32-bit dell server to learn and get experience in vmware-software and virtualisation.
Unfortunately there is no way to get a free lincense from vmware, because the 3.5 has reached end of availability.
VMWare-Support answered.
"I would like to inform you that as informed in earlier email that ESX 4.X and prior versions have already reached end of availability on 2013/08/15. Hence, the system can no longer issue license for ESX 3.5.0 Update_5."
I hope that anybody of you has such an old, free and not more used license for EXSi 3.5 Update2 or greater.
I would be very pleased, if you could make the lisence key available to me.
Thanks in advance
Joe
