It is up to you to follow all local laws and software EULAs.Its a detailed step-by-step video, geared toward those who want nice hostnames in a home lab.If you want a simpler approach, choose this earlier, shorter vSphere 6.0 beta video.
It demonstrates the easier IPs (rather than host names) procedure. Also note that were all still waiting to see what happens with 365 day licenses for vSphere 6.0 home labs under, I inquired again on May 7, 2015 with an EVALExperience contact.
