Just finished installing what I thought was a free version of ESXI 5.0.0 on my new Proliant MicroServer... it went pretty well considering I'm a total newbie to virtualization and VMware. But I kept waiting for a key to pop up during the download and a way to register it using that key during the install. Instead I saw a msg saying that this was a trial copy and would disappear in 30 or 60 days. That is not going to work at all and I'm beginning to think I misunderstood the "free" proposition. Should I have d/l'd an older rev? Did I just overlook the key? I'm a little reluctant to actually start using this thing if it's going to go WHOOOSH in a month or two. What am I missing? More importantly, what do I do?? Thanx for your time.
