HPE Custom Image for VMware ESXi 6.5b

[peterbatah]

Good day all. I was considering a switch from Proxmox to VMWare and stumbled upon a custom image for my ProLiant ML350P Gen8 server. Found here:

HPE Custom Image for VMWare 

Unfortuantely, once installed I see that it is 60-day evaluation. Is there a perpetual license available for this image. I also downloaded and installed  VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 7 and 8 and saw that they both came with a perpetual license key. Your guidance and input will be greatly appreciated. Peter

Hi Peterbatah
VMware ESXi are shipped with Evaluation license for a period of 60 Days only.

(This includes to HPE Custom image as well)

Post the evaluation you need to apply full feature license.

Thank you for chiming in. Much appreciated.

Except for 

VMware vSphere Hypervisor 7.0 & 8.0

Where a perpetual license is provided. And how does one apply for a "full feature license?" and what is the cost?
