I am currently working on a migration from ESXi to Hyper-V. For this, I am using Windows Admin Center with the VM Conversion plugin. However, this requires VDDK version 8.0.3. I have read that this version is no longer available for download through Broadcom. I have also been unable to find a valid download link anywhere. Perhaps one of you still has a copy of this version or knows where it can be downloaded.

If you are using other migration software that does not require VDDK, I would be interested to hear about it as well. We would like to keep downtime as short as possible, so our preference is a solution that can connect directly to ESXi or vCenter, migrate the VMs to the Hyper-V server, and perform the conversion during the migration process.
