VMWare Foundation license for HyperFlex

[francesco.porta@spgroup.it]

I've just installed 2 hosts using the VMWare iso for Cisco HyperFlex from software.cisco.com.

https://software.cisco.com/download/home/286305544/type/286305994/release/5.0(1b)

In the order theres is only VMWare vCenter 7 Foundation for 4 hosts.

Now the hosts are in evaluation. How can i have VMWare vSphere 7 Foundation for Embedded OEM?

Thanks a lot

Foundation 'licenses' are just place holders that allow Cisco to Preinstall OS.  Actual license is provided by end user.

If you actually purchased a PAK based license, or older OEM preinstalled license (haven't been sold in more than a year), it wouldn't have been called 'foundation'.

Thanks,
