Hello

Been a VMWare customer for many many years, but as a result of the silly Broadcom games tied in with the cost of new Dell Servers, we're jumping ship and migrating our servers to a Data Centre.

Currently have:

• vCentre Server 8 Standard
• vSphere 8 Standard (Subscription).

Both expire end of the month.... (Project has been ongoing since earlier in year).

Having delays with new provider initiating data centre platform, and i'm looking at my options here.

What exactly happens when these expire? Does everything stop working? Do i get a grace period?

For context, i'm talking 4 VM's, over 2 Dell hosts and 1 Dell SAN. Not a massive infrastructure by any means.

Thanks in advance.

Ad nausem trying to get back into my account for the latest installer, Googling for hours. Endless hours spent trying to back in. I got to a point I have to subscribe to some Norton thing. Please help. I didn't forget my account details and I have my key in a spreadsheet.....

Seriously trying to get back in. Watching YouTube videos for links that aren't correct anymore.

I am trying to set up a simple lab using ESXI 8. I use a Lenovo computer with an AMD CPU, for me to be able to load the iso I must have AMD-V enabled but when I log into the ESXI and try and power on the VMs I get an "does not support AMD-V". Is this a I need to download a newer version, or is this a setting in the VM? I tried to turn the virtualization setting on/off in the CPU, but no such luck.

hi all,

I have a Windows 10 VM in VMware Workstation with a 100GB virtual disk, and I would like to reduce it to 60GB without reinstalling Windows

I see in vmware threre is option to expand but I can't see option to reduce size

Anyone in here familiar with the redesign group? They're a pinnacle partner and I'm looking at a presales architec role there but not familiar with them.

First things first, I'm running the latest version of VMware Workstation Pro on a Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit computer. I am emulating Windows 10 Pro. I am running into an issue where I can't figure out how to share my files that are on my main computer with my VM. As the title implies, I am wanting to send files from my main computer to my VM but don't know how to. Any ideas?
