Yes, that is possible, but the are also many different ways to do that depending of your environment configuration.

I installed vcenter converter standalone and get error info.owner.

Check if the following VMware KB article helps: VMware Knowledge Base

Let us know if you fix your problem, otherwise we can provide additional ways to move that VM.
