Hello,

Looking to convert 60 VMs from VMWare to Hyper-V. Want to know if the software can convert multiple VMs at the same time or if it is a one-to-one conversion, as well as if the VMs have to be powered off or if this can be completed live.

Thank You,

Jake

The GUI version appears to be single threaded, however this can be scripted using the command line utility: https://forums.starwindsoftware.com/vie ... =15&t=4459

Per the doc - https://www.starwindsoftware.com/resour ... -converter - VM's need to be powered down.
"Important note: StarWind V2V Converter does not support converting “on a fly” thus, the selected VM needs to be shut down first."

Exactly. This is the way it works.
