upgrade VMware ESXi 7.0.0 to 8.0

[Blaise pouokam]

Hi

I have 2 server cisco UCS in cluster with vmware ESXI 7.0.0 (Build 15843807)

I need to upgrade these 2 server from VMware ESXi 7.0 to 8.0

I buy vmware standard licence 8.0, and I will activate those licence after the upgrade the esxi to 8.0

I plan to do ESXI CLI upgrade method and all video that I found say that i must download and use  the Vmware vsphere ESXI ofline bundle

But I did not found Vmware vsphere ESXI ofline bundle file.

1. Where Can I dowload that Vmware vsphere ESXI ofline bundle file ?

I found and downloaded the VMware-ESXi-8.0U3d-24585383-depot file

2. Can I use the VMware-ESXi-8.0U3d-24585383-depot file for the ESXI CLI upgrade method ?

3. please advise

Thanks in advance

Regards
