What NFR licenses are you after, because VMware has many 60 day trial downloads available?

<div>
We are going to be reselling vmware so I was hoping we could have a NFR license to use in-house on our servers. Most of the other vendors we deal with do this so I was wondering if VMware did the same thing. We are currenlty running on a trial but wanted a more permanent solution.

Yes, VMware do, through the Partner Network. NFR licenses for use on your own servers, and Not For Resale or Evaluations.

That is my question though, at what point can I get NFR. I've already read through a lot of this stuff on their website. I just need to know if I have to be certified or what I need to do.

We are interested in getting NFR licenses for VMware. Can anyone tell me the path to do this? Do you have to be a VCP in order to get these? I keep seeing conflicting statements on how to obtain the NFR. Some are saying you don't have to be certified and some are saying you do. Any help is appreciated... Thanks!

VMware NFR license

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
