By passing either of the new VCP-VCF level certification exam(s), anyone maintaining an active VMUG Advantage membership can receive 3 years worth of extensive VMware Cloud Foundation licensing for home lab use!
The VMUG Advantage program has offered affordable home lab VMware licensing packages for years, but did cover most over the entire product portfolio.
Last year Broadcom made a change into this.
Option 1: Get vSphere Standard Edition 32 cores for 1 year: Pass one of the following VCP certification exams
- VCP-VVF (admin/architect)
- VCP-VCF (admin/architect)
Option 2: Get VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 128 cores for 3 years: Purchase & Maintain VMUG Advantage, pass the following VCP certification exam.
- VCP-VCF (admin/architect)
A VMUG Advantage membership was complimentary for vExperts in 2025
The membership is $210 otherwise, and does include a voucher for a 50% discounted VCP-VCF exam
With the requirements in place, head to the Broadcom “VCP Certification Non-Production Licenses” portal and request licenses.
