    Best to use Proxmox nowadays since Broadcom are just driving ESXi into the ground.

    If you have a license, can't you reach out to their technical support team?

    I got this email a few days ago

    Dear Valued VMware Customer,

    Broadcom Inc. recently acquired VMware (Press Release) and as a result of the acquisition, all VMware support accounts (ie. VMware Customer Connect) are being migrated to Broadcom's support accounts. Your VMware support account will stop working on May 6, 2024.

    Please take action now. You must activate your Broadcom support account and update your profile information before you can access the Broadcom Support Portal.

    To activate your Broadcom account, click your unique link here and follow the prompts that begin with resetting your password from the Broadcom screen. You can refer to this article for detailed instructions.

    Once you activate your account successfully, you will be directed to the Broadcom Support Portal, where it will show you as logged in, with your name appearing in the upper right of your screen. Please note that your active VMware product entitlements will not be made available in the Broadcom Support Portal until May 6, 2024.

    If you experience any issues, please first try and resolve your issue by using Broadcom's Self Service Bot, located on this page: https://support.broadcom.com/. If the problem persists, please contact Broadcom Customer Care.

    Thank you,
    Broadcom Support

    Personally i use PVE / proxmox so won reply to the email. Free ESXi only allows VMs with 4 cores maximum which is a non starter for my use case. Proxmox will probably be on par for the other features that ESXi has soon anyway.

    The support accounts were migrated from VMWare to Broadcom. Recently got an email that included:

    Looks like even for trials you now need an enterprise account.
