Thank you so much for this post. I can confirm this works in ESXi 5.0, with slight changes as Dale mentioned above. Mimio Studio 9 12 Keygen Photoshop.

I am already $5,600 deep in lab gear for my home office, and obviously cannot justify the cost of a vSphere Essentials Plus license simply for training purposes ($5,619 for the Essentials Plus license at the time of this post). VMware, if you’re listening, I’d be more than happy to pay for something similar to a MS TechNet subscription. Offering a product of this nature would go a long way to keep the support of those of us who are implementing your products. I have two options: restart my trial period in order to continue learning and supporting VMware, or switch to Hyper-V which is already included in my TechNet subscription. I really want to stick with VMware 🙂. This method used for ESXi 4.1 and ESXi 5.0 does not work on ESXi 5.1 if it is a fresh install.

After trying it, the license.cfg file is recreated, but not with the propper keys. The vmware.lic file is not recreated. After vSphere reconnects, message shows license has expired.

To work around this: Using PuTTY, extended the trial on an ESXi 5.0 machine as described in this blog. Did not delete the vmware.lic file on the ESXi 5.1 machine.

Edited the license.cfg file using vi editor on ESXi 5.1 machine. Copy contents from 5.0 –>5.1 license.cfg file. Restart ESXi 5.1 with services.sh restart. The trial expiration date on the ESXi 5.1 machine is not the same as the ESXi 5.0 machine. I’d like to confirm that “Anony Mous'” method works. I did delete the vmware.lic before I tried his method though before I read that he said not to.

I did use an ESX 5.0 host to generate a new vmware.lic license.cfg file I used winscp to copy the vmware.lic file to the 5.1 server (since I deleted it earlier) I then opened the license.cfg file on the 5.1 server and pasted the contents from the 5.0 license.cfg host in it. Services.sh restart and it allowed me to add it to vcenter. Feel free to reply to this as I have subscribed to follow-up comments.

Just reinstall 5.1 in a VM in, then copy the vmware.lic and license.cfg files or content from reinstalled box to the box you want to “renew” the trial period on. Then run /sbin/services.sh restart vpxa and viola! I did not have to restart the hostd process, because restarting vpxa did that for me. Depending on the virtual hardware assigned to the virtual machine, a fresh install of ESXi 5.1 should be pretty quick (takes about 3 minutes).
