VMware bug shuts down ESX 3.5 users
August 13, 2008 By Kevin Fogarty (CIO Drilldown)
It's bad enough to have a technical problem with one key piece of software. It's a lot worse when the problem crops up in the software on which all your other systems run.
Some VMware users are living the nightmare after discovering that a glitch in the licensing code in ESX 3.5 Update 2 falsely identifies their implementations as being out of license, prevents new virtual machines from launching, or existing VMs from migrating to new hosts.
The problem apparently exists within the software licensing code, rather than the functional part of ESX software.
