I am trying to get my license key for the free version of vSphere 8
I am aware of the message on top of the page:
Known issue alert: License generation for VMware vSphere Hypervisor 8 (free edition) - When registering to download the vSphere Hypervisor 8 package you may get the following error for its license information: "Unable to process your request. Please try again later". VMware is aware of this issue and is working to get it resolved as soon as possible. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
..but:
Firstly, I don't know how long has this been a problem and what happens when my trial expires. I have moved several of my projects onto the new machine, hoping this will be resolved in couple of days. It has been weeks now and I have no idea when to expect any help.
It seems very difficult to get any info on this. I have used 6.7 and 7 and never needed any support, but this time I'm just baffled what the issue might be, I would think that vSphere licensing is not something that just breaks... I mean, it's been around a while...
Many thanks for any info on this in advance...
