i currently own vmware 2 and need to upgrade to 3.x in order to
support an xp virtual guest.  freebsd does not support vmware 4.x,
and i can find no vmware 3.x boxes for sale.

but i found amazon has a vmware 3.0 upgrade box

<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005UWEU/qid=1070747728//ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i5_xgl65/102-2265609-7197720?v=glance&s=software&n=507846>

does this handle the license upgrade to 3.0 properly?

advice?

randy
