Thank you so much for the video.
Any link we can download VMware vCenter Converter Standalone please?

[VincenzoCortese]

VMware converter was / is a software that I often used for work.
now that vmware has deprecated it, are there any predictions if and when it will release an alternative to this much-loved program?
alternatives to carry out the same operations?

HI,

Can you please provide clarification on the ports those need to be enabled for every conversion.
Also where exactly the ports have to enable.

Thanks !!

Can i do it for a remote linux machine without using VMware infrastructure server ? Because when I chose linux I am not able to change the destination type.

Or is there another software that could do it ?
