How download or buy ESXi 5.1 Update 2

Hi,

I struggle with searching a way how to get a ESXi 5.1 update 2 version.

I searched a database and found this:

https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=VCL-VSP510-ESXI-51U2&productId=285

It looks like i can download the ISOs there (blue coloured buttons).

However... after clicking on 'Download' button i have to log to my account. After logging on my free account 'Download' buttons are gray. In fact I cannot click them and download these files.

(CHECK ATTACHMENT)

I tried to download 5.5 version (trial) also and it went fully succesful.

Why can't I download the previous version of ESXi?

Any ideas?

Best regards,

Jarosław

With free account you can download again only ESXi-hypervisor. It *is* possible, I have done it a week ago (5.1U2)...

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.

So... don't you have the same view as I do? I mean fact that download features are unavailable like I showed on my screen in attachment.

Can you explain it to me how EXACTLY you're doing this?

With links etc.

It would be much easier to me to find a dfiference.

Thanks,

Jarosław

Oh my God...

It worked after I registered for 5.5 version. Then all the previous versions are now available to me. This does not makes sense to me but I'm glad it works now.

Thanks JarryG for your interest. +1 helpful
