After installation, Alex tried to connect to the new vSphere 8.0 host. Error: "The server version is not supported by this client."

The Midnight Migration and the Missing Client

"Always download VMware software from the official Broadcom Support Portal (formerly VMware Customer Connect). Never from third-party sites. And remember: the future of vSphere administration is a web browser, not a Windows .exe." Useful Takeaway: If you’re looking for the "vSphere Client Windows download" for vSphere 7.0 or newer, stop searching . Use your web browser. Save hours of frustration.

Alex (panicked): "Jordan, sorry to call late. The Windows client won't connect to the new hosts. Is vSphere 8.0 broken?"
