    I'm assuming you are talking about the VCSA eval license?

    Then the answer is no.

    Talk to your TSA.

    First, I'm not going to make that code available (should I have some) in this forum.
    This borders on, or even crosses, what is legal imho.

    In any case you will sure need SSH access to the ESXi node for such a script.

    And then some Google fu to find the procedure, should there be one.

    If you need a longer evaluation period, you will need a license - if you have a sales contact at VMware you can ask them for time-limited keys.
