    What's interesting is that the build released at the link in your intial post is 456551, but one can also download the Hypervisor edition which is build  455964.

    Licensing appears to be a mess though.

    I got a license for the Hypervisor free edition.

    Says that I am limited to 32G ram... which I have

    Says I am limited to 4 cores per CPU, which I have on two sockets, which respects the limit.

    Still... I try to apply the license number they gave me... it says the license does not support the features on this machine (or something like that.)

    I actually had to create a new account, because I was licensed for 4.1 and there was nowhere that I could get a serial for 5, or update the license, or add a new one etc etc.

    Plus their descriptions for limitations and what works and what doesn't and everything is just an outright mess...

    Argh....

    Where does it say that? I though I saw up to 2 cpu, up to 6 cores each somewhere.

    Solved!

    There was a bug with VMWare's license generation.

    They fixed it this morning and I was able to get a valid, working license.
