For ESXi download. Here's how I get there: After logging in, I select "Downloads" from the horizontal menu bar. From there, I select:
"Free Product Downloads"-->"Vsphere Hypervisor"---> click "Register" in the product description field--> Complete the registration page (you need to register for each free product, even version changes)--->following registration it takes you back to the "Vsphere Hypervisor" page you just left, but now your downloads will appear at the bottom of the page for "manual download".
Since I hadn't tried Version 7.0, I just did it myself to make sure it still works .
I mention this because if you enter the menu system via "Products" instead of "Downloads" on the menu bar you can't easily get to download the free product you want (at least I can't) on a free account. The way I describe, you can just get into the system to download free ESXi without checking out trial software. At least that works for me.
Hold my hand, because I am not seeing what you are telling me. This is now the third browser I'm using.
Log into my.vmware.com. Check.
There is not a "Downloads" on the horizontal menu bar. The horizontal menu bar has: Products, Support, Accounts, and Knowledge. Strike one.
But there is a "Product Downloads" icon 1/3 of the way down the page so I click on that. I get a list of all of the products.
Nowhere do I see any text that says "Free Product Downloads". Strike two.
I see a link in the right side column of that page that says "Trial and Free Products". I'll click on that.
I see VMware vSphere. I click on the "Download Free Trial" link. It takes me to the same Product Evaluation Center for VNMware vSphere 7.0 Update 1c page that I have a 60 day evaluation for. I click on "Manually Download" and once again, NOTHING HAPPENS. Strike 3.
I think there's a force in the universe that is more powerful than you guys telling me not to use this thing.
