VI Acceleration Kit Standard HA - no Converter Enterprise stand-alone license?

Deal all,

a customer of us bought a VI Acceleration Kit Standard HA (which includes VC Foundation).

He gets no VMware Converter Enterprise license (for the stand-alone version) in the license portal.

Is this correct?

Best regards

VC Foundation does not contain a license for the Stand-Alone Converter Enterprise.

You will still be able to download the Cold Clone ISO through, it's located under the VC download page.

This means that you only miss having the remote hot clone feature that is not included in the stand alone free version. So ... if you really want everything.... use Converter 4.0.0 beta (free) & Cold Clone disc & plug-in. then you pretty much have everything.

The enterprise edition of Converter is built in with VC. Just out of curiosity, is there a particular reason why the customer is looking for the stand-alone version? Like iAmtheone mentioned, customer could also use the 4.0 beta for standalone.

Thanks for answer.

No, there is no particular reason.

I just ask for clarification.

So:

VC Foundation: Converter Enterprise Plug-In + Cold Boot CD

VC Standard: Converter Enterprise Plug-in + Cold Boot CD + Stand-alone license

Correct?
