•IMPORTANT
If you have free VMware vSphere lincense installed on ESXi/vCenter certain number of vSphere control features like power on/off, reboot etc. may not work for some ESXi/vCenter versions. This restriction is the official policy of VMware regarding all 3rd party vSphere clients.

Those who get “License Check Error” on app startup please check the following:
1. You are trying to launch the app being logged in to the same Google account used to purchase the app.
2. You have stable Internet connection - this is required only on first app startup.
3. You have recent version of Google Play™ app installed.

vmwPAD browses datastore mounts on ESX(i) over SSH protocol (the desktop client does it over HTTPS under root account), hence you have to be sure that the SSH server is running on ESX(i) and your account is granted with corresponding permissions for the datastore file operations.

If you have any technical problems please email us to [e-mail]. Posting your troubles in the product reviews will not help us to investigate and fix them shortly.

Ratings and reviews

Still after many years - basically the only app that can do what I need it to do.👍 Fixed now: The license check is very intrusive. Every time I start the app the license verification fails and I have to retry. For an 1$ app (which is btw worth it) its a bit annoying.

after phone factory reset, this app is not working after install. prompting licence check error. I have emailed for this issue for support but not getting any help.. Even after your troubleshooting recommendations, I am getting license error Still your support team is not anle to help me.

Great idea, but the vm console doesn't work on my Note 10+ . It was very disappointing because the rest of the app works well, but this may be the most critical part of the app and it doesn't work 😬
