The free version will only P2V one server at a time, the paid enterprise flavor will do several at once from the VIC. FWIW, when I did my consolidation last year, I used the free tool and things went fine...

We have several servers on old hardware that would be nearly impossible to rebuild so we're thinking they're ideal candidates for VM's if there's an automated process to migrate P2V. Is such a tool available, and at low-cost?
