License problem WS 9.0.1 and openSuSE 12.1 (x86_64)

I had some weird X-11 with my Linux system problems that resulted to reinstall - now that I have a system that works, I tried to get VMware (workstation 9.0.1) will again. But, when I click on the button marked "Enter License Key" actually nothing happens.

I have tried two ways - on the user account:
(1) request password (root - probably)

(2) entered password, no key entry form is displayed

As root:
1) click on the button
(2) nothing happens

I tried strace, but VMware seems to be busy returning a VMserver (that I have in any case), so for practical reasons, it is impossible to detect what is happening with the button.

I looked in the KB but don't see anything relevant.

I had a peek here but don't see anything relevant.

I tried VMware support, but since it is more than 30 days since I upgraded to 9, I would have to pay to get the problem resolved.

Anyone here seen this problem or have any suggestions?

Thank you
