Description Dávid Halász 2017-04-10 14:10:22 UTC 
Description of problem:
The MKS and old VMRC consoles are depending on ActiveX/NPAPI plugins that are no longer supported by the major browsers (except IE11). In response, VMware introduced a new type of HTML5 consoles called WebMKS and a VMRC desktop application. These are replacing the aforementioned old technologies and we're already supporting them.

VMware also dropped the support for their API version below 5.5 where these old consoles are being used. Therefore we can safely remove the old code...
