1. Not sure what you were expecting there to be as an alternative exactly, but no.

2. Search online for the vSphere Essentials and vSphere Essentials Plus kits - they are the most cost-effective way of getting the vCenter and vSphere (ESXi) licenses, the Plus kit comes with additional features.

If youre referring to the Hostclient (Connected directly to ESXi) when speaking of https://myip/ui ?

Is your answer is "yes"... than expect the the vCenter HTML5 vSphere Client brings a much greater experience! Otherwise there is no 3rd. Party client.

The price for a vSphere Essentials starts around 470,- EUR for License and a mandatory one year Subscription for 62,- EUR.  Just ask your local VMware Partner or go directly to vmware.com and buy it.

Hi ,

Can I purchase separate vCenter Server license , plz let me know.

[a_p_]

A vCenter Server license can of course be purchased separately.

However, keep the following in mind:

• in order to manage ESXi hosts in vCenter Server, the hosts(CPUs) must be licensed too (the free Hypervisor license is not sufficient)
• a separate vCenter Server license is only available as a Foundation, or Standard edition. Both cost much more than an Essentials Kit
• An Essentials Kit contains licenses for one instance of vCenter Server for Essentials, as well as 6 CPU licenses for up to 3 hosts (with up to 2 CPUs each)
