Vmware for Dell server
To install vmware into Dell server, should I buy the vmware ESXi from Vmware ? I see there is ESIx OEM for Dell server. Should I use this copy ? Is it free for download and I also need to pay for the license ?
Which source of VMware is recommended, from Dell or from VMware ? What's the difference ?

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.
"you give it a license key, either the free one or the purchased one"
After downloading the vendor customized VMware, where should I buy the key, from the hardware vendor or still from the VMware and use the key to input to the vendor customized VMware ?

Purchase the Licenses from VMware.
Unless you have purchased a complete licensed pre-installed Dell Server from Dell. But then if you had, you would not need to download it.
go to the Dell Support site, enter the Tag Number for your server, and it will show the downloads avalable for your server including the OEM version of ESXi to download.
Why should you use it, is documented here

If you are installing ESXi on a Dell server, you should prefer to install the Dell-customized version. It is a free download and will install in trial mode until you give it a license key, either the free one or the purchased one.
The Dell customization includes some drivers and tweaks specific to Dell servers. Other vendors have similar customized versions available for their servers.
You obtain the license from VMware, but in all applicable cases, you prefer to install from the vendor-customized ISO.
