VC 2.5 client to connect to VC 2.0.2?

[brekus]

We are in the process of moving to a new virtual center server. Is it possible to use the 2.5 client to connect to a virtual center 2.0.2 server?

No you won't be able to - see page 3 - http://www.vmware.com/pdf//vi3_35/esx_3/r35/vi3_35_25_compat_matrix.pdf.

Both versions can be installed at the same time and if you always start VI 2.5 it will figure out which versions to run as you'll need VI 2.0.2 to conect to your VC server as well as any ESX 3.0.x hosts.

Thanks, just skipped my mind to RTFM.
