Oh wow. Wait, does this let you do full SNMP monitoring of the ESXi box? Cause, 
yeah, if you have ESXi then SNMP monitoring is out.

One other thing to note, you need to setup an SNMP community string before 
applying your free ESXi license, or it becomes unwritable, as ESXi free version 
doesn't support SNMP monitoring :/

 

http://salawank.performance-weaver.com/?p=66 has the steps for getting SNMP 
setup before applying your license
