9.0 requires ELM (enterprise license manager) for license management. You can request 9.0 demo licenses from the Cisco licensing page and then load them via ELM - similar to the previous lab license, just a different process (and unfortunately not perpetual lab licenses like before).<br>

Cool, thanks guys, I am using ESXi 5.1 and it installed
successfully.<br>
Now need to get around the damn 60 day eval, unlike the 7.x where
you get the 50 DLU's to Lab with without limitation.<br>
I am slowly getting to the point of considering evaluating other UC
solutions due to licensing and support difficulties with Cisco.<div><div class="h5"><br>
