UNSOLVED
VMware ESXi 6.X
Hello
i have a question, I want to buy Dell PowerEdge T330
and I can choose from these 3:
VMware ESXi 6.0 U2 Embedded Image on Flash Media
VMware ESXi 6.5 NFI
VMware ESXi 6.5 U1 Embedded Image on Flash Media
my question is, do I need to buy another license to install and use VMware vCenter Standard?

VMware ESXi is an operating system-independent hypervisor based on the VMkernel operating system that interfaces with agents that run on top of it. ESXi stands for Elastic Sky X Integrated.
ESXi is a type-1 hypervisor, meaning it runs directly on system hardware without the need for an operating system (OS). Type-1 hypervisors are also referred to as bare-metal hypervisors because they run directly on hardware.

These options don't give you the license. They represent what will be installed from the factory with the typical 60 day trial.
You can use this with a 'free' license, or any of the purchased licenses (keys).
If you want to buy the VMware license with the server as well, look further on on the website where you're building the server to find the OS license and VMware support contract (1 year minimum is required).
