Well, you won’t get a rich set of hypervisor features in a free version, of course but you, at least, don’t need to pay for its deployment in your home lab! In this article, I compare both free VMware ESXi 6.7 Update 1 (I refer it as ESXi below) licenses and Enterprise Plus. The good thing is, VMware are very loyal in ESXi licensing. With all that being said, it becomes clear why you just buy from VMware at some point even though you are potentially good to go with any of those free licenses. The latter, in its turn, has no time limits, but it lacks many cool hypervisor features. The former has a 60-day time limit, but it provides all the ESXi features. The thing is, both have several limitations that make them unfit for production use. I’ve mentioned in my previous post that there are actually two free ESXi versions: Evaluation and Free. ESXi is often told to be a free hypervisor.
