VMWARE VSPHERE 8 is available again for free. With a publication of update 3E for VMware ESXI 8.0, users can download the admission version of the hyperwaiser for free. Broadcom hired only the proposal last year. Finally, the American software company caused uncertainty among its customers with a change in its proposal. Just a week after the announcement, Broadcom revised its decision to increase the minimum number of licensed core from 16 to 72.
USB driver receives support for CDC-Dncm
In addition to the withdrawal of free hypervarizer, the ESXI 8.0 update 3e ESXI brings support from the Class Network Control Model (CDC-DEM) in the 3E ESXI USB driver.

After handling VMWAare in November 2023, Broadcom changed its license policy. The company replaced permanent contracts with a membership-based model and introduced the corps-based license models. VMware also introduced a free version of the hyper -west VSPhere before the acquisition. It was used, especially for users in Homlab, for training purposes and in the test environment. In February 2024, Broadcom hired the proposal without replacement.
Outlook
In view of the previous focus on large customers, free VSPERE HEPREWSGRIS is surprising and is likely to meet mainly individual and medium -rich companies. Furthermore, this step can be seen in response to the widespread criticism of the previous year – however, whether the actual change of the course can be seen or it is only a strategic maneuver for image improvement. The long -term impact on the vmware ecosystem and the orientation of the license policy of Broadcom will still be shown.
