However, they encountered registration issues on the official website, including difficulties with the Chinese captcha and errors with the postal code.

Recently, I wanted to change the platform for my small host. I have used PVE and Unraid before, but I have never used ESXI. Out of curiosity, I wanted to download it from the official website and try it out. However, I got stuck at the registration stage, whether in Chinese or English, I kept getting errors, such as:

I couldn't enter the Chinese captcha no matter what I tried, it always turned out in uppercase.

The postal code kept giving me an error.

After searching around, I finally found a solution on CSDN. Regarding the Chinese captcha:

You can restrict the input in Notepad and then copy it into the captcha box.
Switch the language to English.

Regarding the postal code error:

Add a number in front of the address.
Enter a city in the United States.

Address 1    1ONE
Address 2    
City    SACRAMENTO
Postal code    94203-0001
Country/Territory    United States
State or province    California

By adding a 1 in front of the address, if it works, you can finally register an account and download it to try it out (relying heavily on the official website, downloading from other sources always has some issues...).
