  • 1.  Esxi 8 - Help with free license registration

    Posted Oct 18, 2022 09:20 PM

    I cannot seem to register for a free license as I did with ESXi 7.  My home lab now shows 60 day eval and I cannot access a new key.  

    Says "Unable to process your request. Please try again later" after registering.

    Thanks,

    Marco

    As your post needs moving to the correct area for ESXi I have reported it to the moderators.

    Same problem here, same error message and no way to get a free license for Esxi 8.
    VMWare, could you please fix this or aren't you interested in this free offer anymore?

    Regards,
    Dan

    Did you ever get this resolved. I have the same issue.

    No, no change until today... Nice that trial key is about to die in a few days...

    There is a new addition as I can't remove the 'Cookie Settings' button and have to click 'refresh' multiple times in order to get the page to post properly.  Issue in Google, Firefox and Edge.

    Same here, just tried Safari, same result. It's nothing on user side I guess.

    The strange thing is that there was a warning by Vmware on top of the page some days ago regarding system problems which is gone now. So I would think that for Vmware the issue is solved but it isn't.
