Option Description
Converter server
Converter Standalone server manages the conversion tasks. It handles the
communication between the Converter Standalone clients and Converter
Standalone agents. You cannot install Converter server alone. You must
install Converter Standalone server together with Remote access or with the
Converter Standalone client, or with both.
Remote access
If you install Remote access, local and multiple remote Converter Standalone
clients can connect to the local Converter Standalone server. With remote
access you can create and manage conversion tasks remotely. For remote
access, you must perform a client-server installation.
Converter agent
Install Converter Standalone agent to allow the local machine to be a source
machine for conversions.
Converter client
If you install only Converter Standalone client, you can connect to remote
Converter Standalone server. You can then use the remote machine to
convert hosted virtual machines, managed virtual machines, or remote
physical machines.
When you install the Converter Standalone server and Remote access, the local machine becomes a server
for conversions, which you can manage remotely. When you install the Converter Standalone server and
the Converter Standalone client, you can use the local machine to access remote Converter Standalone
servers or create conversion tasks locally.
