I bought a server that came with "VMware vsphere 5 enterprise plus licensed for unlimeted number of vms" already installed on it, this was one of the old decomissioned servers with the software on it from what i recall....
1. Do I now own this software that came with the hardware it was on?
2. If so, Would this software be attached to only this hardware, or could it be wiped off the hardware and software reloaded on new hardware?
3. Or is it dependant on staying with the origional owner? can it be transfered from owners?
Just curious, I currently run esxi 5.1 on a newer system. this system i am talking about is an older server i want to sell and hence would like to know my legit legal options for leaving the software on there and selling it. Or possibly removing the license key and keeping it myself for use on a newer hardware server or simply deleteing it if i dont own the software :(. This is coming off an older power hungry, noisey sunserver that needs to be sold.
