relocation of vmware, but the license key is lost

Hello, my colleague has recently retired and I inherited his job.  I know that he had a valid legal copy of VMWARE workstation 6.5, which came in a box containing the license key printed on a sheet of paper and paper-copy of the book.  However, I'm unable to locate these items now.

I would like to reinstall workstation before that I take just to make sure it's a clean install, and any personal information has been removed.  However, I have not its serial number VMWARE.  Is there a way to remove this disk?  (The host operating system is Linux)  I noticed a usr/lib/vmware/licenses/user/license.ws.6.0 file. (yearmonth), but it does not contain a serial number, but rather a hash of the serial number.

I'd be able to install workstation on his computer and then copy into this file?  I don't want to break a working machine based on an assumption.  Y at - it another way to get information?

Hello.

You can find the serial number of the work center in the .vmware file in the home directory of the user.  - Ko 1000069 decision-making

    You can not - these VLK licenses are the property of your employer - you pay for your own license.   Pay pay pay.

    If your computer has a license on the case sticker then you should try to first use.

    Hi all

  • EliteBook 840 G3: Find the license key of Windows 10 for the new computer laptop

    My company recently purchased 2 HP Elitebook 840 of the G3 that come with Windows 10 Pro. I did a clean install with a customized image of Windows 10 Pro, but I get an error of activation. Where can I find the license key for our new computers?

    Once more, the license IS installed on the PC - that it is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware - but as I've said several times now, it is ONLY for the HP OEM of Win10 which was preinstalled version.

    OK, so try this utility: http://www.tenforums.com/software-apps/2577-showkey.html

    But don't be surprised if it does not work with the version of Win10 that you have installed.

    concerning

    Assane

    Yes, you will get all the features of IPS sensor - its fully functional devices, you don't only have latest signatures (against the latest attacks - but anyway IPS uses also heuristic analysis to detect attacks)... and 5.0.1 contains a lot of signatures in order to have the right IPS device

    Signatures can be downloaded from EAC, if you smartnet - location even agreement as with IOS... :))

    Summary

    If you have multiple Windows licenses and have installed but don't know which one is in use, use the following instructions to double check.

    Details

    Apples of: Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

    User level: beginner to Expert

    If you have multiple PCs in your home or business running different versions of Windows and would like to have on the same version, you can check that you do not use a product key that is already in use. For example, if you bought 3 copies of Windows 7 Professional, installed one, active, but later wanted to update another PC but can't remember which key was used, this trick can be very handy.

    Click Start, type: cmd

    Press enter on your keyboard

    At the command prompt, type the following command:

    slmgr - dli


    Press enter on your keyboard

    A dialogue window will appear on the screen. This will reveal the partial product key which gives an idea of the product key that is in use. Compare with product keys that you have and it will confirm copy of which is in use. When we're done, click OK and close the command prompt window.

    For users of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1:


    Press the Windows key + X

    Click on command prompt

    Alternative means to quickly launch the command prompt quickly on all versions of Windows:

    Press Windows key + R

    Type: CMD

    Press enter on your keyboard

    For Windows XP:

    Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

    (He did a good job of providing a wealth of information.)

  • Running Windows 7 Pro 32 bit from an OEM installation. Can I reuse the license key I have to install Windows 7 Pro 64 bit?

    We have several computers at work that use 32-bit versions of Windows 7 Professional. We must move to 64-bit in order to use more memory. If I have a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit disc can I install the 64 bit version and reuse install the license key for the 32 bit version. I was told Yes as long it's the oem disc. I don't know what that means exactly. What is an OEM drive and why I he would have if the oem of Windows versions usually installed when the computer is initially being built. Thanks for the help guys!

    Yes, you can use the same product key to activate the 64-bit version. You may need to reactivate but by telephone.

    It doesn't have to be an OEM drive. As long as it matches the edition you are installing.

    To learn more:

    http://techingiteasy.WordPress.com/2012/04/13/how-to-activate-Windows-7-OEM-license-using-a-retail-disc/

    You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

    Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

  • Upgarading of Windows 7 Home basic to professional indicates the license key is not valid

    I bought a windows 7 Home premium to professional anytime upgrade, but he says that the license key is not valid. My laptop has Windows 7 base and I was advised to buy a Home Basic Home Premium anytime upgrade, and then use the home premium to professional. I just wanted to confirm if it will work?

    No, it won't work, because Anytime Upgrade is designed only to upgrade Windows 7 Edition Home Premium to professional. There is no Express of Home Basic Professional upgrade.

    To make an Express upgrade, you will need to purchase either full licensed version or retail for Windows 7 Professional upgrade.

    Can I get a configuration of single language somewhere? How can I find the license key for my installation.

    Hi Mohammed'metwally,.

    Please answer this question to get more clarity on this issue.

    • The application or program that you use the partition of the drive?

    This problem may occur if the partition table is damaged or altered. As a result, the recovery partition does not work. I'm sorry to know that you are facing this problem.

    You will not get the unique language anywhere to download setting. You have an OEM computer that comes with the product key integrated into the BIOS. The product key of Windows 8 on new machines is now integrated in the machine. It uses the Secure Boot technology. When you perform a new installation of Windows 8, the installation program ask a product key and will be automatically get it from your system and proceed with the installation.

    As Windows 8 came pre-installed, you must contact the manufacturer of the computer with this problem for more help.
