ESXi 6.5 Download Link?

[scline]

I hear ESXi 6.5 has been released but I am not able to download the goodness, anyone have a non vmware.com downlowd link to the iso and/or offline upgrade? I would love to start messing with it but my login does not have access to the download.

VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.5.0-4564106.x86_64.iso and VMware-ESXi-6.5.0-4564106-depot.zip listed at my.vmware.com/web/vmware/info/slug/datacenter_cloud_infrastructure/vmware_vsphere/6_5

Just create a throwaway email address and sign up again.

so, is 6.5 a trial only? I don't see where I can get a free license. Or is it worth it to update from 6.0?
