On the other hand there is the Offline Bundle (named VMware-ESXi-6.0.0-2494585-depot.zip) that you can use to update ESXi directly from the command-line using esxcli.
#Esxi 6 license key generator install#
The ESXi installation image can be downloaded in two different formats: On the one hand there is the ISO file (named VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.0.0-2494585.x86_64.iso) that you just burn to a CD media and use to boot your machine and install or upgrade ESXi on it. There you will also find the license key that you need to enable the features of the free version after installation. The free license offering has already been updated to 6.0, so you can then go to the vSphere Hypervisor page to register and download ESXi. If you are already running ESXi then you most probably already have one - if not then register now. I you have a paid vSphere license under subscription then you can download ESXi 6.0 (and all other vSphere 6 components that you are entitled to) from the My VMware Downloads page.Įven if you will use ESXi only with a free license key you will need a My VMware account for the following steps. In this post I will explain how you can download ESXi 6.0, what you need to take care of with regards to unsupported hardware and software, how you actually do the upgrade, and how you can build your own customized ESXi 6.0 installation ISO for new installs. So finally VMware made vSphere 6 generally available (GA)! I already wrote about what we can expect from ESXi 6.0 in terms of white box support and using the free license, and I bet that a lot of people cannot wait to have their boxes upgraded.
