Postby Shvek on Thu Apr 01, 2010 3:32 pm

There is an easier way to reset the 60-day evaluation counter in ESXi. The following instructions resets the evaluation counter each time ESXi server is rebooted:
Press Alt+F1 to enter support mode
Type unsupported <Enter>
If set, enter the administrator password
cd /etc
For ESXi 3.5 Update 4 and ESXi 4.0, edit rc.local; for ESXi Update 3 and earlier, edit rc.early
Insert the following commands at the end of the file:
rm /etc/vmware/vmware.lic
rm /etc/vmware/license.cfg
sync
Save the file
Reboot ESXi server
