How to install a bin file on VMware?

[#1]

Hello community, I am a very new staff who is working in partner company with infoblox.

In order to understand the system of the NIOS 8.2.7(which is used in my client company). I have downloaded the file and I found it only has .bin file, it is not ova file.

In this kind of case, where can I find nios 8.2.7's ova file? Or is there any way to install bin file on vmware?

Since I am very new staff and this is my first solution I used, please tell me easily.

NIOS 8.2 is no longer supported since 2020. You will need to upgrade to a supported version and download the OVA for that. All OVAs and bin files can be found on on the Infoblox support site, https://support.infoblox.com.

Thank you for your replying to my question.

You mean that I couldn't install the NIOS 8.2 on vmware with .bin file, right? I was about to install this version in order to test the old version of NIOS because my client is currently using NIOS 8.2. I found the GUI is quite different from 8.6 or 8.7. We have suggested to update their version but they don't want to do it.
