And i heard if I download vsphere client 5.0 update 3 i can install it on 8.1 but i have question:


If my vsphere is 5.0 and i will connect to it with client 5.0 update 3 is it ok ?

Does client 5.0 U3  not mess up with vsphere 5.0 ??

Yes, you can manage ESXi 5.0 by using vSphere client 5.0 U3. It will not mess up
