Commands

Note: Running these commands will cause ESXi to appear offline/down. For example, my UPS virtual machine connected to my actual UPS began shutting down VMs because it believed ESXi ran into a problem. Shut down those VMs firstly before running this command then bring them back up later.
Turn on SSH and log in to the host.
Remove the current license

I have also created a script which powers off and on a VM of your choice (such as a UPS agent) in case it shuts down the host.
First create the script (reset-eval.sh) somewhere accessible to ESXi. I chose to put in my ZFS0 datastore (/vmfs/volumes/ZFS0/reset.eval)
This alternative script shuts down any VM called 'ups-agent'. You may edit that line to your VM's name
Test the script and make sure it works (remember to chmod +x)
Add the script to the crontab to make it run on a set schedule (mine is set at 6:05am each day). For each 59 days do
* * 59 * *
Finally add the following to the end of '/etc/rc.local.d/local.sh' to regenerate the job as ESXi clears the crontab on reboot
