: Using version 6.7 in a production environment is highly discouraged due to unpatched vulnerabilities. It is recommended to upgrade to a supported version like vSphere 7.0 or 8.0 .

Why would anyone want the legacy client? Some older backup scripts, legacy plugins, or specific OVF tools still require the .NET client. VMware officially deprecated this client, but it remains downloadable for vSphere 6.7.

When most people search for "vmware vsphere client 6.7 download free," they actually want the ESXi Embedded Host Client , which is already installed on your ESXi 6.7 host. However, if you need the standalone Windows-based client for legacy integration, we will show you where to find that too.
