    Hi,

    I want to test vSphere, but when I try to register the product, the page start loading but nothing happen. The circle keep turning.

    I have tried with Chrome, IE and Edge in diferent computers, and I get the same problem. I have created a new user and I get the same problem.

    There is a problem with the registration page?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Juan, maybe there was some kind of issue. Now is working fine for me.

    Try again! (Remember to clean cookies just in case)

    I am also having trouble downloading a trial for 7 - slightly different symptoms, I am able to register for a trial OK, however when I go to the 'License and Download' tab to download the trial, the section of the page that should contain the links to download is empty as below:

    Have tried Edge Chrome / fresh install of Firefox, deleting cookies etc.

    I can't see any screenshots.

    Presumably you are looking here: https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/downloads/info/slug/datacenter_cloud_infrastructure/vmware_vsphere/7_0

    What do you see on that page, and when you follow the GO TO DOWNLOADS links?

    Thanks for the reply - I'm actually looking at https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/evalcenter?p=vsphere-eval-7,

    The above should be the screenshot of what I'm seeing - I've attached it as a separate file as well, just in case. I'm trying to download from the UK, also tried from a freshly installed Windows desktop in the Azure East-US region just to check if it was a regional issue, but still no joy. Also tried to create a brand new account, same thing...Cheers

    Just above the top-right of your screenshot you should see My Evaluations - try that or use the link I posted.

    What happens then?

    (I'm also in the UK)

    I'm not entitled to download from there, I assume because I don't have any licenses registered with my account -

    Hi guys,

    I continue with my issue. Attached is a screenshot of the registration page loading...

    I have the same issue using Chrome, IE and Edge. I am not using extensions, adblock or similar and all cookies deleted. Also, I have tried using three diferent computers and two diferent users, including using my phone as an access point.

    Any idea?

    Thanks.
