Shutdown VM in ESXi 6 Free restricted?

It seems I cannot shutdown a VM from VMa with ESXi 6 free license:

vi-admin@vma:~> vmware-cmd -H xxxx -U xxxx -P xxxx /vmfs/volumes/56ef14b0-0e8222ea-66cc-001517fd91a4/zoneminder/zoneminder.vmx stop soft

Operation cannot be performed:

SOAP Fault:

-----------

Fault string: Current license or ESXi version prohibits execution of the requested operation.

Fault detail: RestrictedVersionFault

Is the free license really restricted from performing such a basic function, or am I missing something?
