    I need version Vmware ESXI 8.0U3 because I'm going to upgrade my UCS M6 from Vmware ESXI 7.0 U1 to 8.0 U3 and the license that was bought it is 8.0 U3.

    One question about the license this one is formed with 25 characters I suppose this is the license itself and not a PAK?

    Hi,
    I go to: https://support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/downloads
    I find "VMware vSphere"
    I choose VMware vSphere - Enterprise Plus 8.0
    I choose "Custom ISOs"
    and I find "Cisco Custom Image for ESXi 8.0U3 Install CD" (VMware-ESXi-8.0.U3e-24674464-Custom-Cisco-4.3.6-a.iso (629.85 MB) Build Number: 24674464)

    Here's a more detailed breakdown:
    1. Access vCenter and Licenses:
    *Log in to the vSphere Client using administrator credentials. 
    *Go to Administration > Licensing. 

    2. Add the License Key:
    *In the Licenses tab, click Add. 
    *Enter the ESXi license key in the text area (one key per line). 
    *Click Next. 
    *Provide a descriptive name for the license and review the details. 
    *Click Finish. 

    3. Assign the License to ESXi Hosts:
    *Go to Hosts and Clusters. 
    *Select the ESXi host or cluster you want to license. 
    *Right-click and choose Assign License. 
    *Select the newly added license and click OK. 
    *Repeat this process for all ESXi hosts that need licensing.
