(or, if they do know, it'd be nice if they didn't just ignore us as paying customers.) in the paragraph above, did you mean the wizard or "Help -> Enter Serial Number" from the main vmware menu? i don't see a place to enter anything license related in the wizard, so i assume you mean the latter. however, if i go to "Help -> Enter..." i just get (no other dialogs), -- Cannot find a license for VMware Workstation. Please register at http://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/ to obtain a license. If you already have a license, please verify that it was placed in a file that begins with "license" or "licence" in the subdirectory ".vmware" of your home directory. -- if i take a license and put it in .vmware, it lets me choose "Enter Serial" from the Help menu... however, then no matter what serial I enter it just tells me "could not find a matching license". there's no option to use my key to generate a new license... which is what i'm looking for. i must have missed something. -mrh -- From: "Spam Catcher" <spam-catcher@adept.org> To: spam-catcher@adept.org Do NOT send email to the address listed above or you will be added to a blacklist!
