VM Converter enterprise edition?

[jboldt1973]

This site is not too intuitive as far as the cost of the enterprise edition. Can someone help me out with that? is it worth the cost?

[oreeh]

Converter Enterprise is included in VI enterprise licenses.

AFAIK it is not available for separate purchase.

[jboldt1973]

I bought VI enterprise so I have the license huh? Should I just contact support to get the lic file? Sorry for being such a green horn, this stuff is more complex than I initially thought.

In this case you simply have to download it.

Login to VMware store, go to the VI (3.5) download site and grab it.

[wila]

I guess this is because the download link is not where you would expect it to be.

From the page:

http://www.vmware.com/download/converter/

Click on the link in that sentence... or use the one here:

I have a follow up to this, I have several machines loaded on GSX, do I simple move those over to ESX and start them up or do I need to VMConvert them into ESX?

[oreeh]

If the GSX VMs already use SCSI disks you can import the VMDKs into ESX and use them there but most likely Converter is the easier way.
