Hello all. I hope I am not posting this in the wrong forum. I am new around here.
My question is this: Why does it take so long to obtain a license/link to download the VSphere 5 trial? I am trying to study for the VCP 5 certification and recently went through the process to obtain the trial copy of VSphere 5, but every time I check My Evaluations all I ever see is "Coming Soon." If I try and download the product, I receive a message that a license key is being prepared. I have been waiting for over a week to simply be able to download the software.
Now, I understand that a week is not a long time, BUT, in this day and age of instant downloads, a week just for a demo download just seems well, stupid. I was able to download VMWare Workstation 9 and start the install within 15 minutes. Why is VSphere so different? Why can we not just receive a demo license right away, just like the Workstation download?
If anyone has any insight to alleviate my frustration, I would be very grateful.
Thanks!
