I used to run ESXi v4.x (gree version) then went away but now I've returned. I've installed v5.1 and it's warning me about the trial license running out in x days. I would have thought license management would be simple, but I can't work out how to get a license number for the free version. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
One thing I've noticed is that when I log into my My VMware page and go to the account section, it says "We're sorry. This Account does not have valid EA. You cannot perform any more operations on this Account. For more information, please call the VMware Global Support Services Team". Is this why I'm having a problem figuring out how to get a license? Do I really have to make a phone call? There are no contact details provided.
I tried creating a new account under a different email address and when I pressed submit it gave me an "unknown error".
Surely there's an easier way to get a license number?!?
