You must license your vSphere environment before its 60-day evaluation. Enter the vCenter Server 5 Standard license key and click Next. To label the.

Hello everyone,I downloaded trial version of esxi and vcenterserver 6.5.In my lab environment I installed 2 ESXi hosts, andI want to test Clustering and DRS, and other features of vmware vsphere ESXi.Also, I installed Vmware vcenter 6.5. How can I gettrial licence number for ESXi and vcenter servers?Most of features in my vcenter server are notactive.I was able to add my first ESXi Host server in myvcenter server, but I could not add my second ESXi Host in the vcenter server.I really appreciate if somebody give me any clue tobuild my lab.Thanks,M.D. I think dbeato is correct that you don't need a license key with the eval that is generally offered. I think in that un-keyed version of vCenter Server you downloaded, you're limited in functionality.

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 haven't dealt with VMware evals in a very long time and they do tend to change policies on occasion.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. Maybe the eval versions offered are crippled in some way?You don't have any VMware products already installed with other keys, or expired keys by any chance, do you? 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.

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. That's within a single vCenter.

VCenter servers don't exchange key information between them and they don't 'phone home.' Generally, vCenter Server also requires a key. Whether the eval version does or does not, I can't say. Premiere pro for macbook.
