I just re-upped my VMUG membership to get another year of ESX and vCenter for my home lab. When I went into the catalog to “purchase” another license of vCenter (or ESX, both did the same thing) it said I had exceeded my entitlement and wouldn’t let me add it to my cart. Am I missing something? I’ve been running ESX in my home lab for about 3 years and I REALLY need it to not expire in 15 when it’s set to. I’m assuming I just missed something dumb, but I’m worried that with the Broadcom acquisition they’ll be trying to squeeze water from rocks and screwing customers in awkward little ways. Thanks for any input on anything I might be missing to get myself back on track!
The clue is MUG 🤣 just kidding. Wait until your current is near expiry.

Hopefully vmug does not use same system as the regular licensing, they are not issueing new licenses or quoting prices atm.
