• VMWare Player license for police headquarters

  Community in the morning,

  My question is: am I allowed to use VMWare Player for free in a headquarters of the German police or ist also "commercial use"?

  Thanks for your replies

  Hans

  Hello Hans,.

  It's actually a tough question, because the common phrase "for no commercial use" is rather vague and does not really respond when it's really a commercial use. In the FAQ of player, they use the term: "VMware Player is free for personal use."

  So I would read, if you use in your office on your desktop pc, it is not really a personal use, even you generate profits using.

  I don't know if this is the appropriate contact, but you can try to contact VMware directly and ask them. There is a branch in Germany.

  It's the public sector team mailing address is: [email protected]

• A license for VMWare Player?

  I saw the deal for VMWare Fusion for Mac includes a commercial license for VMWare player, so I was wondering, if I buy VMWare Fusion can I use the VMWare Player on my Windows machine license or is there a better way for me to get a commercial version of VMWare player without having to actually buy VMWare Workstation?

  lzrelak wrote: I saw the deal for VMWare Fusion for Mac includes a commercial license for VMWare player

  No, VMware Fusion for Mac does not include a license for VMware Player it's VMware Fusion 5 Professional, which includes the license for VMware Player for commercial use.

  so I was wondering, if I buy VMWare Fusion can I use the VMWare Player license on my Windows machine

  With VMware Fusion 5 professional, Yes

  is there a better way for me to get a commercial version of VMWare player without having to actually buy VMWare Workstation?

  To use VMware Player commercially, buy VMware Fusion 5 license Professional even one chooses or can even use VMware Fusion 5 Professional.  It comes through a convoluted cross-license that VMware has not done a very poor job of marketing and or explain and caused a lot of confusion among some users trying to interpret.

• With the help of Fusion Pro license to activate Win7 installation of VMWare Player

  According to http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion-professional/compare.html, Fusion Pro includes a license for the use of VMWare Player Plus. However, when you try to activate the Player Plus (reader-> help-> enter license key...) and enter the key, nothing happens. (The warning at the bottom of the screen that my evaluation license will expire in N days persists). Any help thrown my way is appreciated.

  Best,

  I think this might be the post: trial license expired blocks of VMWare Workstation without drive

  I did an uninstall of the program and then started across the registry of rooting for any instance of vmware (Ctrl-F) and he nuking (not for the faint of heart).

  I think that what he did was to find the license key, who lives under a key 'VMWare, Inc.' (there are several of them) (note that it was not under the path mentioned in the thread above).

  I also cleaned up C:\ProgramData\VMWare, which contained the cruft of various other software products VMware I had been assessed, but had uninstalled.

  Thanks for the help,

• VMware Player 5: license has expired...

  In trial of VMware Fusion 5 Professional, there is also the possibility to insert the serial number of the trial in VMware Player (thus allowing commercial use) this: out of curiosity (I need not commercial use of the reader), I tried this, a month ago...

  The problem is that now VMware Player (nested within a Fusion Windows 7 VM, mainly to the XP operating Mode), in the title bar indicate that the evaluation period has passed; while I would of course prefer that he returned to the original behavior, that is, where it is said that it is only for non-commercial use, in the title bar.

  In the meantime, I also bought Fusion 5 in the normal version, in box (currently, I don't need the pro features).

  Yes, there are some parameters (hidden?) in Windows 7 that can restore the text "for non-commercial use" in title bar (instead of have "expired") Player...?

  In OS X, as far as I know, the license information in "Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion": but in Windows 7... where is he?

  Uninstalling and reinstalling player would fix the problem?

  Removal of the license key in the Windows registry will reset on "VMware Player (Non-commercial use only)".

• How to download and use my Win 7 Pro prior in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

  before 3 years, I bought a win 7 pro PC - recently, I fee install 8.1... How to download and use my prior Win 7 Pro in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

  Unfortunately, you must have prepared a recovery disk in advance or use the one provided with your computer.

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

• Installation of VMware in VMware Player tools

  Hello

  I installed VMware Player v7, created a virtual machine (Windows) and wanted to install the VMware Tools via Player > manage > install VMware Tools... but nothing happens when I click on this option. The following 2 other methods I found in a Ko do not work either:

  • Enter D:\setup.exe where D: is the first CD-ROM drive configured for your virtual computer = > NOK as the virtual drive does not show the VMware tools.
  • Looking for the ISO file in the installation folder = > NOK: there is no ISO file.

  After searching on the forum, I realized that VMware Player doesn't come with VMware tools and workaround I used was to install VMware Workstation without a license on another computer, find the file "windows.iso", copy it to the computer, mount it as a virtual drive and start the client installation.

  The thing I don't understand is the reason for which the option is available in the VMware Player menu if the VMware tools are not? It's very confusing for people new to VMware and only install VMware Player...

  You need not download VMware workstation to get VMware Tools in VMware Player!  VMware Player 7 is working fine on my system and had no problem downloading VMware tools, so maybe it's a problem specific to your environment/system that may block recovery.

  Take a look at my answer: Re: VMware Tools missing in the Installation of VMware Player 7

Cause now, I can't start VMware 2nd partition, I got an error that I don't remember now but basically does not allow me to start my Windows XP Edition VM family. So I decided to re install WMware with c or d with no luck.

  Whenever I try to install it, I get the following error:

  Could not create key: \SOFTWARE\VMware,Inc.\VMwarePlayer\Dormant\License.player.5.0.e1.201209. Check that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support team.

  If I hit enter on IGNORE, it will the same error, but:

  Could not create key < bis >...

  After that it gives me another error as follows:

  The MSI 'C:\Users\Mauro\AppData\Local\Temp\vmware_1360701860\vmwareplayer_x64.msi' failed. [Same error as above]

  Read newspapers attached files.

  Any help to solve this problem is appreciated.

  The solution that I found when I tried to reinstall Vmware on Windows 7 operating system was to

  1.) erase all files from the disk Local Windows (c) / x 86/Vmware programs

  2.) erase all disk Local Windows (c) VMware files / Windows/System 32 / Config and drive Local (c) / Windows / System 32/drivers

  (3.) to remove all the temporary files on your computer.

  (4.) after download the Free Windows Registry Repair. Link for this program is below.

  {---> http://download.cnet.com/Free-Window-Registry-Repair/3000-2086_4-10606555.html<-------->

  (5.) once the program is installed run the registry repair.

  6.) when you see the list of registry, errors, go to one of the lines and right-click on it.

  (7.) to go to the registry editor.

  8.) from there, you'll have to watch although each file and see the description of the file to see if it belongs to the company of Vmware. (These files will have an indicator, for example, VMbooter and so - forth.) Make sure you get VM in the name of the file).

  9.) after that you have all the files that have been deleted from your hard drive, run a Disk Defrag and clean disk just for the performance of your.

  (10.) you want to go to VMware web site to download the version of vmware you previously as 3.0.1 4.0.1 and so on. This will be the MSI file you need that is corrupted

  * While the program is reinstall, you will notice the prompt will ask you if you want to uninstall your current version of VMware. You'll notice that's nothing in the description. (Do the cleared off the coast of files and a core hidden in the program) *.

  11.) as soon as the old MSI download file. Install the newest MSI file (currently VMware Player 5.0.1) and you should see no complications so every step meticulously were complete.

• VMWare Player will run Mac OS x 7?

  Hello, my question is if I install VMWare Player on my Windows 7 computer, I'll be able to run Mac OS x 7?

  Thank you

  It is a violation of Apple licensing to run their OS on non Apple hardware.  And there are even limits on which versions and flavors that can be run as a virtual machine.  We cannot help you here, or VMware could get in legal trouble with Apple.

• VMware Player is free to use by businesses?

  Hello everyone, I'm confused about the terms of use... maybe someone can help

  The FAQ says that VMware Player is free for personal use and not commercial. What exactly does it mean?

  I work in a company and we need to test some Application in a Linux Guest. We bought VMware Workstation to create the virtual machine. Because it is more productive, if more people succeed in the virtual machine, we copied the vmdk and you want to use VMware Player... ist that non-commercial use? If not, how to purchase a license?

  Thx a lot!

  It is a free software to use as you wish.

• The Windows 7 XP Mode requires the activation of VMware Player 3.0

  Clearance for VMWare Player 3.0 State note: "import Windows XP Mode virtual machine using VMware Player 3.0 and run the virtual machine without be prompted for a Windows XP license key." I tried it and as soon as the VM has opened in the drive, the Windows Activation appears because of all the different material.

  Is there a different procedure for this? The XP Mode machine works well in VMWare Player - but it is not good if it needs activation.

  Any help is very appreciated.

  In the Player 3.0 there is an option in the file menu "Import Windows XP Mode virtual machine".  This is displayed if the Mode XP .vhd file has been downloaded and installed on your system.

  You must use this method to run the .vhd file.   It will automatically install the .vmx with the correct settings file and create a clone that is linked to the original to run file from.

• Conversion to a virtual machine using VMware Player?

  We have an environment consisting of ESX:

  • vCenter 4.0.0 (build 162856)

  • Runing host ESX 3.5.0 (build 163429)

  I have very limited exposure to VMware Player and who has been with the first versions.

  We received a request to make an existing virtual machine in Windows 2008 for use with VMware Player.

  1. Is this feasible?

  2. I had user Converter?

  3. I'm confused about the end result and how to deal with operating system licenses and IP information as they proliferate this image in VMplayer?

  Looking for some tips and information to help me get started.

  I usually copy the complete directory of the virtual machine on ESX to a host with vmplayer and it - just run without any conversion. Just doubleclick vmx-file...

  This works even when the virtual machine has snapshots, although I do not recommend.

  If I have problems they can usually be cured by a simple modification vmx and vmdk so I amy forget a step here.

  Anyway - just try and come back with error messages.

• Error opening image: 'it is a VM Workstation ACE Edition. Please open it in VMware Player. »

  I have a Virtual Machine that:

  1 has been created in Workstation 6, has worked well for months and left in a suspended state

  2. upgrade to Workstation 7 and the image has been loaded in 7

  3. I've never used picture 7, decided to go back to 6 when I found that to upgrade the payment required

  4 uninstalled V7, reinstalled V6 and now I can not fire up the image. I get the error: "this is a VM Workstation ACE Edition. Please open it in VMware Player. »

  I followed the instructions in the post:

  http://communities.VMware.com/message/933523#933523

  However, this does not have the problem. I still get the same error.

  My host OS is Windows XP

  The image is Linux Suse 10 and contains data that took me weeks to prepare...

  I've never had installed ACE so I don't know how it happened to active ACE (I received this machine from a colleague who left and checked its licenses and it doesn't have a license for ACE - could be downloaded there a trial, but I have never used and do not know if it had existed before.)

  I tried to install the first instance of ACE but it looked like a huge amount of work to get just my picture that is running again...

  It is possible that the version of 6 I have re-installed (6.0.4) is older than what was on this box before you start this mess?

  Which would cause this error, ACE?

  Anyone know how I can get this thing to a working state?

  Try Workstation 6.5, which is a free upgrade to Workstation 6.0.4.  At some point you upgraded the virtual equipment of the virtual machine.  The virtual hardware Workstation 7.0 is compatible with Workstation 6.5, but it is not compatible with Workstation 6.0.
