Yeah, I was hit hard with this issue this morning. And ultimately, you can still manage ESXi free from the traditional client - many SMBs don't really need any of the advanced features. You can get a vSphere Essentials kit, which gives you licensing for 3 ESXi hosts (with up to 2 CPUs each) and a single vCenter server, for ~$500:Īnd last I checked, Workstation was still less than $100 for a license. Kind of crazy though for small business, how you can use ESXi but then they say features are missing if you use the Windows application, but if you go to their site and try to buy vCenter it says it's like $6044 lol. So just confusing that the system tells you to download it, and then it says it's old, so thought maybe I was missing something obvious. It's just confusing how they do it because when you access the server in the browser after a fresh install, it goes on about using the web client there, and then says download vSphere manager or whatever it is to manage your VMs, but you download it from the link it gives you, and when you run that program, it says the message about this program is old and you should use the web client etc.
