I know. I'm still running 6.5.0 build 5969303. But I never had a "contract" or any kind of support, since I never purchased anything from them. The OP seemed to have some kind of support that was running out at some point, which is why I replied the way I did.

I agree completely. Although, I've been secretly playing with Proxmox and xcp-ng in VMs so if ESXi ever shits the bed, I can easily make the switch without having to start completely over with a new (free) hypervisor. ;)

Nick
