Another way of stating this is that there is only one OEM Custom ISO and Addon download for any given OEM server and any given ESXi version, regardless of the various entitlements of vSphere.

Looking For Other Certified Custom ISOs or Add-ons?

For each version of vSphere (major and update releases, e.g. 8.0, 8.0U1, 8.0U2, 8.0U3, 9.0), Broadcom only hosts the single, most recent OEM Custom ISO and Addon that was certified by Broadcom.
OEMs are responsible to host any older certified Custom ISO and Add-on for any version of vSphere. Please refer to the OEM’s website for any Custom ISO or Add-on not listed here. As OEM websites are not under Broadcom control, exact URL locations are not tracked. For questions, please contact OEM representative.
