web client installation

[d_laci]

Hi Everybody,

Please forget for my lame question.

I'm running vSphere 5.1 and I'm using OS-X on my laptop.

I was looking for a native vSphere client but I found out there is not. Now I try to install the vSphere web client according to this procedure. But when I try to download the vCenter installer I have the following error:

You either are not entitled or do not have permissions to download this product.

Check with your My VMware Super User, Procurement Contact or Administrator.

I'm a home user and I have a free version of vSphere.

Is there any possibility in this case to use either the web client or run a native app on OS-X?

Thank you!

vSphere Web client is used to manage vCenter server and not stand alone hosts.

You cannot access your ESXi server directly using vSphere web client.

If you want to run vSphere client on OS X. Check this below post.
