where can I download vSphere Client ?

[chengkinhung]

Hi, I just downlaod and installed a VMware ESXi 7.0,  I try to add this new ESXi 7.0 into old vSphare Client (version 5.5.0) but failed. So I want to try new vSphare Client, could you please tell me how can I down load the new vSphare Client for the ESXi 7.0 ? In the download page: https://customerconnect.vmware.com/evalcenter?p=free-esxi7, I saw the messages said: “Thank you for registering for VMware vSphere Hypervisor, which includes VMware ESXi and vSphere Client.” Thanks very much.

Hi, Paul, thanks very much for your information. But I do not know which one is vSphere Client ? should I download the Essentials or Desktop ?

If ur looking for ESXI hypervisor you can go for https://customerconnect.vmware.com/en/evalcenter?p=vsphere-eval-8

This will give you 60days trail

 

For other you need license key

Ciao 

If you talk about the classic vsphere client that used to be installed on computers to connect to vcenter or esxi hosts, it no longer exists. To access the new versions you have to go there via the web.

if i remember .. The final version of vSphere Client to be released was version 6.0 update 3, which was released in February 2017. Since that time, VMware has moved to an HTML5-based web client. The web client is installed as a part of vCenter Server. It's included with both the appliance and the Windows version.
