Has VMware changed their policies for downloading older ISO images? I'm trying to download a copy of vSphere 5.1 Enterprise/Standard/Any, but all it will offer me is 5.5 and as a trial. I don't remember how I did it, but I downloaded 5.5 about a week ago without having to enter a trial period.
After some research I find most companies are still running vSphere 4.x and when they upgrade it will only be to 5.0 or 5.1 so I want to download a copy for my home lab for certification purposes.
Initially I'll install 5.1 virtually on workstation 10. Once I get comfortable with it, about a month I have all of the equipment to install on hardware except I'm still finalizing my plans for a physical shared storage device.
Your advice and assistance would be appreciated.
