Comments on: What Will Happen After Veeam Maintenance is Over? http://www.modelcar.hk/?p=4977 My Die-Cast Collection & Interests Thu, 08 Jan 2026 15:35:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: admin http://www.modelcar.hk/?p=4977&cpage=1#comment-1488 admin Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:08:22 +0000 http://www.modelcar.hk/?p=4977#comment-1488 As far as I knew, 90% of the company using vSphere is still using 4.1 or below. In additional, there is some problem with Veeam v6 and vSphere 5.0, not to mention many things many not work on vSphere 5.0 as well, Equallogic MEM is one of them and Juniper Altor vGW firewall is another. So as a rule of thumb for enterprise, we always suggest our clients to wait till x.1 such as ESX 4.1 or ESX 5.1, then they can safely perform the upgrade. Finally, I hate to mention vSphere 5's ram tax and EntPlus only has 96GB per socket, that's why most of the users prefer to stay with ESX 4.1.

Finally, I hate to mention vSphere 5’s ram tax and EntPlus only has 96GB per socket, that’s why most of the users prefer to stay with ESX 4.1.

However the problem is I need to stop using 4.1 after upgrade to 5.0 license, RAM limitation on 5.0 and no time to test the upgrade from 4.1 to vSphere 5.0 I found that there is also a free upgrade from vSphere 4.1 to vSphere 5.0 as my company bought the license within one year.

The reseller said it is perpetual but it isn't if you use notepad to view the license file. If you click resend license file by email, you will have new expiry date as I remember. Are there any response from them? Regards, microchan. I also want to know. The reseller said it is perpetual but it isn’t if you use notepad to view the license file.
