ASKER

is it limited to 1cpu? and does it have any limitation to access datastore (vmdk)from SAN?.
Can be manage in vcentre?
it cannot be managed from vCenter.

vCenter is a licensed product, and cannot manage FREE ESXi.

FREE versions is limited to 1 CPU, 32GB per server.

Datastore same as the licensed product.
I have more that 20 VMs, i don't think one CPU will be enough.

Alternatevely, understand trial version of vphare 5 enterprise will work for 60 days. how do i tranfer license from one host to another? i already have license for 2 physical cpu which is working in one host. unfortunately having some hardware issue on it..
This is waht i see regarding cpu limit

"Number of Physical CPU limit – There is none. You can use this version of VMware Hypervizor on any server with any number of physical CPU. One, two, four, eight……"

If you spend $500 - $600 on vShpere Essentials that will give you everything you need including vCenter.
