For FMC software you will need to install the same version or higher than what you have installed on the SFR.

For ESXi you need to use ESXi version 6.0 og 5.5.

Refer to this compatibility guide for more detailed information:

Your modules are probably 6.2.3.13. There is no 6.2.13.

The easiest thing to do is install FMC 6.4 and then patch it to 6.4.0.3 (currently latest release). for the initial installation download "Cisco_Firepower_Mgmt_Center_Virtual_VMware-6.4.0-102.tar.gz" found here:

https://software.cisco.com/download/home/286259687/type/286271056/release/6.4.0

(Support entitlement is required to download.)

You will need to ungzip and untar the files to install on your ESXi server. The installation procedure can be found here:
