Mate this is only available for the entreprise edition, check down here

VMware Converter Enterprise is available at no additional cost to

existing and new VirtualCenter Management Server customers and P2V

Assistant customers, with valid support and subscription contracts.

First go to

and click on the Manage VMware Product Licenses link. If you are

entitled to Converter licenses you will see Vmware Converter 3.0

Enterprise listed once you log in. Once you activate the license and

download the license file you can go to

and click on the Enterprise Edition link to download the ISO file for

cold-cloning. The installation program for hot-cloning is the same for

Starter and Enterprise editions. Once you select a license file in

Converter it will unlock the Enterprise features. One thing to note is

that the license file you download for Converter does not work with the

License Manager server. Even though it is in the same format as the ESX

licenses the License Server will not recognize it. To use your

Converter license file simply copy it to the server that Converter is

installed on and launch the Converter application and select

Administration, Licensing Information and click Add License and browser

and select your Converter license file.<!-- BEGIN attachments -->

Converter 4 does not contain a boot cd and does not support cold cloning. You will need to stick with v3:

Hi,

I already have v3 of the converter, but can't seem to find the iso image anywhere. Can it be downloaded from anywhere?

Thanks.

This information applies fo the older version 3.0. The current release 4.0 does as mentioned not provide such functionality since it is capable of hot migrating running Windows and Linux systems.
