OMG, thank you for this!!! My home lab litterally just tanked due to my VMUG licesnese being voided and broadcom killing vmug program.. Migrating everything to xcp-ng on XOA, but its a slow process as their migration tool is not very good... But right in the middle of my migration and suddenly poof, everything dropped. I was running vcenter 8 enterprise with vsan, but not utilizting the vsan items, so no big deal, this saved me! How have they not killed this???
THANK YOU!!!!

you can download much thing from here
Has anyone found a way to connect to the internet without enabling the esxi apis for their grand UPDATES and hence losing accesses?
Has anybody figured out a way to get the vCenter server licenses to work? They keep coming up as invalid for me!
The license works for me. You have to make sure you are applying it to the correct version. I.e. this license will not work with vCenter with vsan, only vCenter 8 std. I applied to my 4 node homelab with with each server with 40x vcpu/396gb RAM/25gblinks with trunas running my NetApp disk shelf with zfs and came up as unlimited licenses.when installed.
Also, after you install the license you have to enable it in vCenter administration under licenses and applu the license to each host in the cluster and the vcenter appliance itself.

Its not working on a 7.0.3 vCenter server. I'll try downloading and activating version 8.
My homelab VMUG vROPs key has expired - would anybody have a key for vROPs or Aria Operations please?
Somewhere to download vCenter 5.5?
They are in the ISO links

Wow, that's like a 4-5 year old version. I would not run that unless I'm an isolated / airgapped homelab. There is going to be a lot of security vulnerabilities that are unpatched and likely discovered for exploitation in the wild! If you're going based on supported hardware I've run unsupported hardware on all the way up to 8.0 without issue. I even have an HP DL380 G6 that I tested out for grins just to see if it would work and sure enough it does with some features not enabled of course. But generic hypervisor ability is there. Right now my home lab, I'm running for HP DL380 g9s and one HP DL360p G8. And I believe both of those models were even on the unsupported hardware list for 8.0. But they operate perfectly.
I wish I came across this before I started migrating my home lab from my four node HP DL380 G9 hosts with a NetApp disk shelf running 96 TB SAS through trueness on an HP DL 360P G8 with 8 SAS sSD for ZFS to XOA. Since Xen went open source, would surprise the hell out of me, it seemed the best alternative to VMware, since they were asking the VMUG program with the 365 day licenses. I've been a VMUG member since I joined at my first VM world in 2009. And went to the subsequent 8 VMworld conferences. And on my home lab servers I run about 45 VMs, a mix of a bunch of server Windows server 2022 2019 and other various appliances. I already started the migration of two of my hosts to XOA cluster whenever I came across these unlimited licenses. So thankfully I was able to use these to at least extend my current VMware v center while I finished migrations. But one thing I do love is XOA is a lot faster than VMware was!.
You can try Proxmox as vmware alternative. It's open source and it's excellent!
anybody found nsx key?
Hello, does anyone have keys for vmWare Identity-Manager?
Does anybody have the decryption key for the .rar vSan 8?
Does anybody know what is going to happen with this keys if Broadcom comes up with their new license systems.
I have experience with ESXi but if this keys stop working I might try out Proxmox for my new build

It works for now. But I'm migrating my home lab to XOA. The biggest part I hate is all nics on all servers have to be named the same in a cluster. I love VMware. But Broadcom has ruined it.
Thank you so much for this. It has really helped me keep the lab going to continue learning at home.
THANK YOU!!!!

From these source, which file actually? I'm a bit confuse, there is file name example
VMware-ESXi-8.0U3c-24414501-depot.zip
and
VMware-VMvisor-Installer-8.0U3b-24280767.iso
so is it the iso of depot.zip that need to extract?
what's purpose use ESXi? Proxmox is free
Does anyone have a vSphere Hypervisor 8 free key ? not ent or std key
Thanks for the sharing! Do you have a download for 6.7 per chance?
Please reply to this message with your list of VMware products(vCenter, ESXi 6.5 etc) you want me to list on my cdn.
Hi can i get vSAN8 license for my lab purpose.
Anyone have one for vSAN Cluster?
