Description
Converter Standalone server manages the conversion tasks. It handles the
communication between the Converter Standalone clients and Converter
Standalone agents. You cannot install Converter server alone. You must
install Converter Standalone server together with Remote access or with the
Converter Standalone client, or with both.
If you install Remote access, local and multiple remote Converter Standalone
clients can connect to the local Converter Standalone server. With remote
access you can create and manage conversion tasks remotely. For remote
access, you must perform a client-server installation.

machine for conversions.
If you install only Converter Standalone client, you can connect to remote
Converter Standalone server. You can then use the remote machine to
convert hosted virtual machines, managed virtual machines, or remote
physical machines.
