I did upgrade using the vcenter lifecycle manager:
I uploaded the 8.0U3g image and the dell package from the custom iso directory.
The i define in the esxi update the image and the vendor package.
its allowed me to do the upgrade without a problems.

This might be tough without a valid login to broadcom to validate the registration, hence no public keys. I know you can set up an offline depot with all vcf 9 components but im pretty sure that license validation must happen. If you know any different or manage to get keys let me know.

It's working via FTP.

https://cios.dhitechnical.com/VMware/
You can download any VMware product ISO files

Hi there, this page needs a password now, does anyone have it? Thanks.

We are still here, just a bit more private
Contact webmaster@dhitechnical.com for user/pass for this site.
Or you may use anonymous FTP, with your email as the password
If you don't want to wait for email, login details are in the source code to this page

From the course code

  | <!-- Username: cios -->
  | <!-- Password: cios -->
  | <!-- FTP User: anonymous -->
  | <!-- FTP Password: anyvalid@emailaddress.com-->
  | <!-- Any valid email address will work for the FTP password. -->

So the username is cios and the password is cios

It's working via FTP.

Woahhhhh, not THAT is a good find. I wonder if they need HAProxy Enterprise, Varnish Enterprise, Aerospike enterprise, Redis Enterprise, NGINX Plus? Can confirm, FTP does work, user is cios, and I don't think the password worked, so it was just blank.

Hi, I saw a gist url shared here, where, through a web archive snapshot, I found a bunch of license keys for VMware products. Unfortunately there were no Horizon Connection Server keys there. There used to be such a page but I don't have the url anymore, unfortunately. Does anyone have a Horizon Connection Server key? Or the url where these could be found?

So, has anyone developed a license file generator for VCF 9? Technically, you can license VCF9 in offline mode, just need a license file. Anyone have a valid license file? Any VCF certified individuals interested in sharing? Or any VCP-VCF certified who do not have VMUG or have VMUG and willing to share. Hit me up.

Good luck with that. I honestly thought that even though you could apply a 1 year or longer license via sddcm you still had to validate it every so often but maybe im wrong with that. Either way, dm me if you find a way please.

VCF supports offline validation. You would still have to "validate", it would seem someone smarter than I will be able to reverse engineer the system and able to generate the verification license to import into sddcm. I can't remember how often the check is done, but since some installs are on submarines and other places where periodically checks are not possible, BC had to provide a way for offline validations.

I haven't found any with a license to even begin with, and while I've used ESXi since v5, I'm not sure I could pass the VCP since I've not used NSX. I've thought about using the HOL to see if I could get enough knowledge on vcf9 to pass VCP, then get VMUG license. Send me a DM, maybe we can figure out something.
