V-PLOYMENT LICENCES Print
V-Ployment freeware version   V-Ployment licenced version
     
The free version enables you to build and configure a maximum of 2 ESX hosts per boot image with further restrictions on some build configuration properties. As this is freeware there is limited support included and we do not recommend that you use the freeware version for production builds.   The licensed version of V-Ployment will allow you to configure and build as many ESX servers as required in a single boot image. All build features are fully enabled and functioning. One year's basic email support is included as part of the license with additional support provided for the "Country" and "Global" versions (contact us for details). All of the licensed versions are recommended for configuring and building production ESX servers within your data centre.
