I'm trying to use Starwind v9.0.1.268 to convert VMs from an ESXi 6.5 host to an ESXi 6.7 host. I'm getting this error:
"Current licence or ESXi version prohibits execution of the requested operation".

The source host is a Dell Optiplex 3010 (i5-3470) running ESXi 6.5. The destination is an HP Microserver Gen8 (Xeon E2-1265L v2) running ESXi 6.7 (HPE Custom image - VMware-ESXi-6.7.0-Update3-18828794-HPE-Gen9plus-670.U3.10.8.1.2-Nov2021).

Is it impossible for me to convert from ESXi 6.5 to 6.7 using this version of Starwind?

Greetings,

It can be that ESXi version itself blocks access to certain APIs.
