The time available in the evaluation period is decreased by the time already used.įor example, suppose that you use an ESXi host in evaluation mode for 20 days and then assign a vSphere Standard Edition license key to the host. At any time during the 60-day evaluation period, you can convert from licensed mode to evaluation mode. The evaluation period is 60 days and begins when you turn on the ESXi host. It might be in evaluation mode or prelicensed. ESXi Embedded is preinstalled on an internal storage device by your hardware vendor. The installable version of ESXi hosts is always installed in evaluation mode. If you want to continue using these features, you must assign a license that supports them. Before the evaluation mode expires, you must assign to your hosts a license that supports all the features in use.įor example, in evaluation mode, you can use vSphere vMotion technology, the vSphere HA feature, the vSphere DRS feature, and other features. The evaluation mode provides the set of features equal to a vSphere Enterprise Plus license. You can use evaluation mode to explore the entire set of features for ESXi hosts.
