Does VMware have developer/trial licensing?

[Pete.S]

I was wondering if VMware has some kind of developer licensing for ESXi, vSAN and vCenter or if they can be installed on some kind of time limited trial license for testing?

Thanks!

I'm sure that they do, but don't know the details.

If you join VMWare Users Group you used to be able to get almost all their product licenses for $200 a year. Quick look shows it is still available; called VMUG Advantage Subscription:

You can download almost anything for a free trial and get a time limited key. For a lab/testing enviroment VMUG advantage is cheap as chips. If you just want to kick the tires on something Hands on Labs are not terrible.
