Download Esxi 6 Free
vSphere 6.0 released and we are started evaluating the features of our brand new hypervisor with our evaluation license. The evaluation period is 60 days but do you think 60 days is not enough to keep your hands dirty with ESXi 6.0. It will be time-consuming to re-install ESXi 6 every 60 days after your evaluation license is expired. Don’t worry, VMware provides us with the Free ESXi 6.0 Hypervisor with non-expired license keys. VMware ESXi Free version is the same download as the full ESXi with exact same ISO but stays unlocked only for 60 days. If you don’t enter the serial number for the free version, the product works as full version during 60 days. When the trial period ends and the product locks out the advanced features and becomes VMware ESXi free.
VMware ESXi Free vs PAID
VSphere 6.7 has officially GA'ed! Below is an aggregation of all the related release notes and downloads for this vSphere release. I have also created a short URL which you can use to access this exact same page using vmwa.re/vsphere67 Note: Not all links are live yet, but they should be available. Nov 08, 2017 I am looking for the free version (free trial for 60 days) and I do not know if I have to download the '6.5.0 0a' or the '6.5.0 U1' version. I mean I am currently using a 'ESXi 6.0 U2' ISO image on my serveur and now I would like to uninstall this version in order to install the 6.5 one.

How to Perform Backup of VM’s running in Free ESXi?
Free ESXi does not support vStoage API and hence no native backup support for Free ESXi versions. If you are using Windows VM, use its native backup or agent-based backup for VM’s running on Free ESXi.
