If you have deployed VMware ESX 3.5 Update 2, please read below.  If you have this in production, I would still test the patch below before applying.  You never know if this patch will uncover something new…

Special Notice: Please Read

An issue has been uncovered with ESX/ESXi 3.5 Update 2 that causes the product license to expire on August 12, 2008. Follow the steps below to correct this issue:

1. Read the following Knowledge Base articles first:
   • Fix of virtual machine power on failure issue, refer to KB 1006716
