Hello,

You can register a free account at VMware site and download ESXi image in there. evalcenter

It is the same ESXi image that is used for the paid version with all features and functions are unlocked for 60 days.

After 60 days, you can continue using ESXi by activating ESXi free license.

And take care about the limitation:

  • No Official VMware Support
  • Max 8 vCPU per Each VM
  • Cannot Be Managed with vCenter
  • vStorage API Is Not Available

If my reply was helpful, I kindly ask you to like it and mark it as a solution
