Confused about VMware Workstation 7 ACE?

Back with Workstation 6 and 6.5, we had bought a license for the edition of the ACE. In retrospect, we never took him, but we thought it was a good upgrade to pay for just in case. I remembered that the part of the ACE has been activated by inserting the license appropriate for that key.

With Workstation 7, we bought the 'normal' version, but now we are not sure that we made the right decision. are there versions now SEPARATE - ACE and non-ACE edition? They are different programs? Or are they even once, the same program and they are simply registered/activated different by what series/license key I entered during installation (a bit like Windows 7)?

There is no installer / separate from ACE.

Identical to its Workstation 6.5, installing Workstation 7 if the ACE license key is provided then features ACE will activate.

Even during installation if the Workstation serial key is provided and later if you want features ACE then launch desktop, goto help-> enter serial number and license ACE key and now close and reopen my computer. (ACE will be activated)

  • Update of VMware ACE and VMware Workstation

    I bought VMware ACE there a few times and got VMware Workstation 6.5.0.

    I always use VMware Workstation 6.5.0 to protected generateACE packets.

    Can I update WMware Workstation version update (say 6.5.3) without losing the ACE capabilities?

    Can I update ACE as well?

    Am I entitled to upgade to WMware Workstation 7 without having to buy it again?

    Concerning

    Marius

    You can update 6.5.3. without any problem.

    But you cannot use vmware workstation7 since the license that you purchased (6.5) does not work with the 7 workstation.

    Also, you cannot use the old license for the new version of the vmware ace management server.

  • Where VMWARE Workstation 11 stores no information about Virtual Machines open

    When you 'open' a virtual machine in VMWARE Workstation 11, then close VMWARE and open again, it remembers what virtual machines have been opened.  Where it does not store this information?

  • Re: Satellite keyboard Funtions vs. VmWare Workstation

    Hello

    I'm new to this forum...
    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite U500-115.
    After you install all the programs I need, I noticed that the eco and the start/stop button lights buttons didn t work anymore.

    I uninstalled programs Toshiba - nothing works. So I installed win 7 pro x 64 again.
    Buttons worked!!

    I discovered that vmware workstation 6 and 7 are at the origin of this problem.
    As soon as I install the vmworkstation software the keys won´t work.
    Uninstall--> buttons work.
    I don't want to use both: buttons and vmware 6 or 7.
    It seems to work with vmware 5.x, but this version of vmware is officially not recommended to work with win7. It takes about 10 minutes push button vmware initially until the vm ware starts booting.

    Perhaps someone could confirm this problem.
    Hope of a quick solution!
    Concerning
    bachmayeah

    Maybe it sounds pessimistic now, but I don't think you'll have a quick solution to this.
    The feature tools and utilities Toshiba is tested with the own operating system preinstalled and not with some third-party additional party software.
    Can you imagine how these applications you will find there? Who should test the functionality with hundreds of other application? It is certainly not possible.

    I use VmWare, but I imagine that there is a problem where two applications met the other.

    Sorry, but I don't think that there is nothing you can do about it.

  • 6u2 ESXi host nested on VMware Workstation for Linux referee v12

    Hello all, I have

    I have a lab environment virtual running in VMware Workstation for Linux v12, and my ESXi hosts do not work correctly on one of the virtual networks. All my troubleshooting suggests a problem with nested ESXi hosts that may be a bug, but I want to assure you that I did everything properly first. That's why I post here with the hope that if I made a mistake that maybe someone else can point out he me.

    Physical system

    8 core Intel Xeon 2.1 GHz CPU

    128 GB of RAM

    OS - kernel Linux 64 - bit w/3.19.0-32-generic Linux Mint 17.3 (fully updated from this announcement)

    VMware Workstation 12 Pro - 12.1.1. Build-3770994 (fully updated from this announcement)

    Nested ESXi host VM

    ESXi v6.0.0 (Build 3825889, completely updated from this announcement)

    4 cards 'physical' (only 3 used for now)

    -all use the e1000 NIC hardware virtual, but also tried vmxnet3 NIC with no difference

    -vSwitch0 use vmnic0 & 1 vmnet16 of virtual network in a pair of active / standby

    -vSwitch1 uses vmnic2 on network virtual vmnet18

    -vmk0 used for management on vSwitch0 and vmk1 for iSCSI on vSwitch1

    -"Promiscuous" mode and forged passes enabled on all Port vSwitch groups (activating or turning off these features makes no difference)

    Test performed until now

    I checked that all the IP addresses and network masks used are correct.

    With the help of vmkping I ping other nodes on the network vmnet16 with success.

    With the help of vmkping I tried to ping the other nodes in the network vmnet18, but that has failed.

    I have depolyed other non - ESXi VMs on the vmnet18 network, and they are able to ping each other, but are unable to ping or ping by the ESXI host.

    I tried various material virtual NIC as mentioned before, but without changes in the results.

    I tried to use only local network instead of the vmnet18 guest network segments with no change in results.

    When I find out the status of the network adapters on the ESXi host through vCenter or host incorporated client vmnic0 & 1 time display network information, but vmnic2 shows no networks. Yet, I know that there is a network with different VM communicate on it. Moreover, I was able to get all of this work on a Windows system running 10 Workstation (this is the laptop that my employer gives me with).

    Having built nested ESXi labs on different platforms as well as physical environments in the past, I'm very confused as to why I can't get this special configuration to work. At this point my gut tells me that this is probably a bug any with the nested themselves ESXi hosts. Since I can get all this work on vmnet16 including the management of ESXi hosts and the VCSA that I use, I am sure that my vSwitch configuration is correct (other than the IP address space and vmnic configurations is bascially the same). Because I can get other virtual machines to communicate over the network vmnet18 I don't see how can be a VMware Workstation for the issue physical Linux host. Is there something obvious I'm missing here? I read on the ESXi hosts nested under VMware Workstation after having known problems and bugs with networking. If anyone else has experienced this?

    Thanks for any help others can provide!

    Kind regards

    Patrick

    Well, the problem is now resolved. The problem was what covelli was trying to explain, but I couldn't because the physical host network adapters being mentioned.

    The problem on the Linux host, but it was a problem of permissions with the virtual Ethernet adapters. The following article has the fix:
    With the help of Ethernet virtual cards in Promiscuous Mode on a Linux host (287) | VMware KB

    Even if I launched the workstation under the root user I have yet met this problem and which still makes no sense to me, but change the permissions solve the problem. I was not getting an error message on my Linux Mint and Ubuntu system, but when I tried on a second box of Linux Mint that I just got the error has been generated, and the error message was the above link it contains.

    So, here's what I learned:

    (1) the question has nothing to with a VMware Workstation definition that you can configure.

    (2) the question has nothing to do with a physical network card.
    (3) the question has nothing to do with any vmnic on the nested ESXi host.

    (4) apparently virtual Ethernet adapters are not the correct permissions when created.

    All you have to do to fix this is:

    (1) open a terminal.

    (2) run the command ' sudo chmod a + rw/dev/vmnet * "(don't forget to run this each time that you create a new virtual network).

    You can also create a group, as shown in the link above and simply give this group the correct permissions. Personally, I think it's easier to just give everyone the rw permission.

    I appreciate the help that others have offered. I did not understand what was asked for in previous answers because of the terms that have been used.

    According to my own tests, it only limits the size of the VMDK for 'New - VM' Assistant.
    Once you have a greater vmdk - just tried a vmdk 10TB - WS won't complain about the size.
    I don't expect that WS will prevent the physical disks to use inside a virtual machine that is already configured.
    So in your case I think you started WS with a normal user account.
    Try to start as administrator WS - maybe even using the administrator account.
    I think that then it will work.
    Unfortunately, the error messages produced by vmware.exe are not really accurate-, so there is no way to know if you really have a bad super block.
    To test if this is really the problem and not just an error message - poor try to mount the drive directly.
    Please post the vmdk - want to know if there is something unusual about 5.5 TB in the disk.

  • Update Windows 10 November (10586 aka 1511): bcdedit/set hypervisorlaunchtype off, but VMware Workstation does not start VMs with conflict of Hyper-V

    Hi all

    I upgraded from Windows 10 Windows 10 November updated this morning.

    I have the Hyper-V role is installed and use it from time to time, but bcdedit to configure the boot loader to disable Hyper-V by hypervisorlaunchtype power off.

    This technique has worked with 10 Windows and VMware Workstation and I could start and run virtual machines

    Since I did the upgrade, I can't start VM with this standard message "VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible"

    I am running VMware Workstation 10, but suspect that this problem also exists with later versions.

    Everyone knows about this problem?

    Someone at - he found a solution?

    I'm willing to fork over $150 for 12 workstations to solve this problem, but I want to know with certainty that it is circumventing my problem.

    Thanks for that.

    Uninstallation and reinstallation of the hyper-v feature, following the upgrade of Windows Windows 10 November 10 update solved the problem.

    I still need to run the following command to disable the Hyper-V technology

  • VMware Workstation 12 Pro Maximum number of standard error of virtual Macines

    I get this error when I open many clones of virtual machine to WIn 2K12R2. now, I opened a new instance of workstation for

    run a new VM clones. I don't have this problem in the Workstation 11.0.2

    There is a limitation in Windows that will sometimes hit when an instance of VMware Workstation tries to manage a lot of virtual machines simultaneously.  If the workstation user interface knock this architectural limit (which can happen to about 28 VMs), the user interface will break.

    Earlier versions of workstation had a check in place to prevent that from happening, but that the cheque has been omitted by mistake of recent versions, you to eventually open a little more VMs, but risk of accident.  12 workstation restores the audit.  In a future version of Workstation I hope will eventually be restructured to avoid the underlying limitation altogether, but we are not yet there.

    This particular limitation is not related to the total number of virtual machines that are running on the computer host, so (as the message says) you should be able to simply open a second instance of VMware Workstation and run several virtual machines in this second case.  If I remember correctly, I think that we have a strict limit of 64 virtual machines running simultaneously on Windows hosts.

    I hope this helps!

  • How to do a complete uninstall of VMWare Workstation 10 Buggy?

    Hello

    I bought and installed VMWare Workstation 10 about a year using the education license.

    A few months ago, I tried to reinstall VMWare Workstation because it had been destabilised by a question about my PC. But when I tried to uninstall the software, it arises repeatedly with the following error message:

    The MSI "failed.

    The path of the folder "Shared Virtual Machines" contains an invalid character.

    I tried to fix it, but to no avail. Finally, I decided to manually uninstall VMWare ranging in all directories, I knew where was installed at VMWare and remove files.

    It did not always work because of all the registry keys related to VMWare.

    At this point, I would like to do a complete uninstall of VMWare Workstation, and then perform a new installation on my computer.

    Would it be possible to know the procedure should I follow to remove all information related to VMWare on my computer (key of registry, files, dll, etc.) and then reinstall it?

    Any resource in this regard would be really appreciated.

    Where this might be necessary, my computer is running Windows 8.1 Pro on an Intel i7 x 64 CPU.

  • Installation of Windows Server 2008 R2 on vmware workstation 9

    Hello

    I have a laptop with windows 7 OS and installed a VM with windows server 2008 R2 OS using vmware workstation 9. The thing is without creating any user, VM is turining IT with the user that I connected my laptop. Is that how it behaves.

    Generally, when install us windows server on a physical machine, he asks to open a session with the administrator by changing the password.

    Could someone let me know how to change this?

    Thanks in advance

    This problem occur if you select the OS install disc when the VM... in this way creating the VMware Workstation uses a feature called Easy Install, where you will be asked for more information, including the user credentials.

    To avoid using Easy Install, during the creation of the VM, on install, select "I will install the operating system later":
