Hello
We have a running VMware ESXi v 5.1.0.
I need this patricular server to be licensed, and i need to buy the correct license.
We have been hit by a Cryptovirus so the matter i urgent...
I asap and need to restore a backup from Quest Rapid Recovery to this old VMware server.
I am ready to buy this online to get a working serial number.
1. In order to make this work, i need a serial number to insert into the excisting VMware ver. 5.1.0..
2. Will it work if i buy a 6.7 license like this package "VMware vSphere Essentials Kit" and insert it into the 5.1.0 version?
3. Do i need to upgrade the old VMware server first?
4. Is it possible to upgrade the excisting one without destroying the active servers/data on the storage running ?
5. Can i just copy data/servers from the old excisting 5.1.0 server into a new 6.7 VMware server and start it up ?
Any help is apreciated
Regards
