Issue
I connect to our VMWare vCenter using the Acronis V2V Easy Converter and I am not able to see my VMs. What might be causing this, and how do I fix it?
Resolution
Please note that it is highly recommended not to connect using vCenter, but to connect to ESXi hosts directly instead. This ensures stable communication and significantly decreases the conversion time as well.
Issue
I am getting an error "current license or ESXi version prohibits execution" when I try to migrate VMs from VMware to Hyper-V using Acronis V2V Easy Converter. What might be causing this, and how do I fix it?
Resolution
This error is related to running an unlicensed version of ESXi and trying to migrate a VM that is already running. This is by design and due to limitations within the free ESXi API. To resolve this error please try stopping the VM before migrating or upgrade to a licensed version of the ESXi.

In a while, you receive an error message or an email notification about the error: "No backup items were resolved. GXT: The item provider has skipped the report of an item with key."
