Enabling standalone license
The installation ISO does not include a permanent license serial number. To obtain a
permanent license serial number, register at the VMware web site
(https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware) and download the serial number. After you
have received the serial number, use the VI Client to insert the license serial number.
Enabling enterprise entitlement
If you purchased a license for VMware ESX/ESXi V13 Enterprise Edition, follow the
instructions included in your package to redeem and apply the license.
Updating VMware ESXi
Updates and patches for VMware ESXi are provided and delivered by VMware. These
updates and patches include the latest ESXi software from VMware as well as updated
CIM providers from HP.
The updates and patches are delivered and installed by VMware Update Manager
(VUM). For more information on this process, consult the VUM Administration Guide
(http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_vum_10_admin_guide.pdf).
Recovering from a system failure
If you encounter a system failure and need to re-install, see "Installing HP integrated
VMware ESXi" section.
IMPORTANT: Using the installation CD completely erases all
existing data and user configuration. All preconfigured settings,
user data and license information is lost. After reinstalling the
software you must reapply your licenses.
