VMUG Licensing Link?

[IamSpartacus]

I assume the site for "purchasing" licenses with your VMUG subscription has changed because I can't find it anywhere. Can someone help me out?

It's always been a huge PITA to me to buy those, and then find the download links... Ridiculous.

Yea it's pretty annoying too that they don't have an easily accessible link when logged into the VMUG website.

Is vSphere 6.5 not available through VMUG? I'm only seeing 6.0U2.

EDIT: Nvmd, found it.

Do you see the object/link to:
VMware vSphere with Operations Management Enterprise Plus v6.5 (English)

I think that's where i grabbed it.

A bit off topic, do you guys buy 3 years at a time with the discount code? That seems to be the best deal isn't it (on a per year basis)?

It is, but like me....budget determined my purchase.

Last purchase I did 3yr with promo code ADVEMEA (10% off) last time. Some employers will cover the cost it, given some of the benefits. The non-prod licensing works well for office test lab scenarios, training discounts alone can cover the costs of it, and if they want you to get any certifications....there are discounts there as well. Just beware the training discounts only apply to courses delivered from VMware directly and not partner provided.

I have not read the agreements but are you allowed to use it for testing in the office or is it’s strictly to be used off premises ?

All agreements leave some parts to interpretation but if work wants to provide me hardware in the data center to run some non-production workloads on it there didn't seem to be any issues. The only thing unusual about the agreement I saw was around who can see benchmark results.

Some of it is a bit of a grey area. If the subscription was purchased for you then your covered with it but from how I'm reading it, if your department purchases it then the department (the mention of "legal entity") would be covered?? Check with your org's contract specialists or legal group to get more of a definitive answer on it.
