vcenter 5 converter plugin missing

I installed vsphere vcenter 5.0 server(not the appliance), and cannot find any reference to installing the new version of the converter plugin to match.  I did not see the install on the list of downloads, nor was it in the server ISO for vcenter.  Any help?

I believe the functionality is being taken out of vcenter in favour of just the standalone converter product (5 is in beta).

Regards,

Ian

Same issue here. I just downloaded the standalone. I find it hard to believe converter would not be integrated into vCenter in the future.

Did you have any issues adding your new 5.0 hosts to your new vCenter 5.0?

Just an FYI, I ended up opening a support call and received eval license keys from support. Newly installed hosts would not join using the included eval licensing.
