VMWare converter error "Unable to recognize the server type or version when connecting to the host"

Hi all, I have a VMWare server version 8.0, I'm trying to convert a Windows 10 computer to it from a VMWare server 6.7.  The Windows station has the latest VMWare tools.  When I try to convert it I get an error message…..

 

Unable to recognize the server type or version when connecting to the host

 

Not sure how to get past this.  Thanks all.

I didn't know there was a version 9.  Thanks do you have a download link?  Broadcom makes it so hard to find links.

Got it, wow that site is hard to navigate.  Even getting through the “Screening” process.  OK downloaded, Ill try it in a bit.


you could have a situation where current version of converter supports 6.7 but to old to support 8, and 9 maybe to new to support 6.7 it is end of life!

VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
