VMware vSphere Client Download for Windows: All Versions and Releases

Few will deny the impact VMware had on modern virtualization technology environment and the Palo Alto software company leading role in the revolution involving thousands of server farms in recent years. An infrastructural change that also had an huge impact on many system administrators, who suddenly found themselves eager to learn and manage the logics behind the maintenance, backup and administration of either the Virtual Machines and their Hypervisors.

These issues are being mostly handled by using the vSphere Client, which is a free software released by VMware enabling SA to connect to VM Hypervisor systems and manage them. If you stumbled upon this page, chances are you know how difficult can be to retrieve the download links of the vSphere Client's builds, each one required to connect to the corresponding vSphere release. This list comes to the rescue, including the download links for a wide number of available vSphere Client for Windows in the most likely case you'll need them.

The list has been updated to include the current vSphere latest version, which is 6.0.
