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]

  • Evaluation of VMware Player license

    After testing on VMware Player 5, I also tested VMware Workstation 9 in order to get a grip on the differences. When I did uninstalled Workstation and install VMware Player 5 again. I now VMware Player (trial license) at the top of my VMware Player window. This isn't right? What will happen after the expiry of the period 'assessment? I will be able to use VMware Player?  Unstall and reinstall after a workstation installation seem to screw up the terms of the software license.

    Clues?

    VMware Player 5 appears as follows:

    VMware Player
    VMware Player (license expired)
    VMware Player (trial license)
    VMware Player (Non-commercial use only)

    The first 'VMware Player' means that it is authorized for commercial use and a valid serial number has been entered.  The other three should be explicit.

    If you have used VMware Workstation with the 30 day free trial serial number and uninstalled and serial number has not yet expired and install you VMware Player 5 I would expect it to appear as 'VMware Player (trial license)' because the VMware Workstation license key is still in the Windows registry.  It is located at [\VMware Workstation\License.ws.9.0.e1.201202 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.] and this withdrawal must make VMware Player 5 display as "VMware Player (Non-commercial use only).  As always make sure that you have proper backups before editing the Windows registry and or at least save the key to the target before deleting.

  • Serial communications port unusable - that makes Vmware Player useless for me.

    I have installed XP Professional DVD original (inside Windows 7 Home premium), but although XP seems to 'see' the Serial Comm port, the application is not.

    This request is Picstart16C old 16-bit software (1994) running in DOS mode (console) that attempts to communicate with a device so Assembly code to program in the internal EEPROM to a microcontroller.

    In fact, I tried two different devices and software and none could communicate via the serial port.

    The motherboard is the Gigabyte G41M-Combo.

    Any ideas?

    You try to use COM1 for Serial Port?  If so, the question may be a conflict with ThinPrint (printer under hardware in the settings of the virtual computer) like it by default uses COM1.  If stop you the virtual machine, remove the Serial Port and printer and then add the Serial Port back and set it to COM1 if you need printer host then crosses the prompt add printer after a Serial Port must set the printer to the COM2 port.

  • 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.

    Hello

    I need advice/help please,

    I try to install the Browser Appliance v10.0 in VMware Player without success despite trying countless hours over the past five days, this software is certainly not newbie friendly :)

    .

    I can't find the button 'Browse dialog for the configuration of the virtual machine' which is part of the instructions below

    I tried many different ways to try to install it in VMware Player during the last five days, but nothing seems to work, I installed Ubuntu in VMware Player and then tried to find a way to install the device browser in Ubuntu, but nothing works.

    Here are the instructions I received with Browser Appliance v10.0 I downloaded on my pc that are outdated maybe?...

  • Key free license for vmware server 1.0.3

    Hi all

    I read in a forum that vmware server 1.0.3 is a free software. You just have to register on the vmware site to get the free license key. This free software was interrupted by vmware? I couldn't find the software in the download page. Now, when I try to get a free license I am not able to understand how I can get that. I am part of the site, but where in the site can I get a free license? Can anyone please shed any light in this regard?

    Thank you

    Sasmas

    Welcome to the community,

    VMware Server has been abandoned for years. If you are looking for free products, take a look at VMware Player, or the free ESXi Hypervisor.

  • 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,

    Adam

    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?

    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.

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

  • You want to know how VMware player has demonstrated in supporting printer HP LJ P1100w USB devices for example.

    Original title: VMWARE Player, what went right?

  • -What someone answering questions on Windows Media Player. I can't download a license for music. It gives me error 438.

    I have Windows Media Player 11

    Hello

    1 have had any changes made to your computer before this problem?

    Perform the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    There is a possibility that internet settings are causing this error 438 to come.

    Go to your Internet Explorer and check the settings of Internet security. Make sure to set the level on 'medium high'. If the level is set higher, it can block the Windows Media Player to download the license, Windows Media Player error 438 to come.

    Also in the Internet security settings, it is important to "run activex controls and plug-ins." By activating these two parameters, it must deal with what caused the error to occur in Windows Media Player.

    Method 2: reset the DRM Bank on the computer.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    (a) If Windows Media Player is running, exit Windows Media Player.

    (b) locate the DRM folder on the hard disk, and then rename the folder to DRMbackup DRM.

    Note: by default, this folder is located in the following location in Windows:

    %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM

    (c) visit the following Microsoft Web site:

    http://drmlicense.one.Microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp  

    (d) follow the instructions on the website to update the safety component of Windows Media Player. This procedure allows you to obtain new licenses for media content. You can also reset licenses for purchased content so that you can play that content on a computer.

    Note: DRMs, such as Microsoft Windows Product Activation, maintain an internal hardware ID. This ID is based on the hardware configuration that existed during the installation of Windows or installing Windows Media Player 11. If you change the processor of the computer or other devices, the hardware in the DRM system ID does not match the new computer configuration. When this occurs, DRM determines that a user has tried to move the content protected to a different computer. This behavior can also occur if the storage protected by DRM in the Windows registry has been changed.

    Note: you must contact any third-party stores where you purchased music to reset the licenses for that music. If you copied CDs for protected Windows Media Audio files, the CD must be copied again.

    For your reference: When you try to use Windows Media Player 11 to play a digital rights (DRM) - management protected, multimedia media can not play

  • They killed the unity mode in VMWare Player 12. Can I get the installation program for Player 7

    Really sucks - VMWare killed unity Player 12 mode. If I had known that I have would have stuck to 7 Player - it worked very well.

    Anyone know if it is possible to get the installer for 7?

    Thank you

    Yes, we have abandoned the support unit for Linux customers only.  It is sad to see the function will, but our information indicates that Linux unit has been rarely used, and it was extremely difficult to maintain a level of quality that our customers expect, so we took the difficult decision to remove it.

  • VMware Player tells me to 'host reserved RAM', but the option does not exist.  Is there a command for vmx to this file?

    I am running VMware Player on a host Ubuntu 14.04, Win 7 pro x 64 comments.  When I start the client OS VMWare gives me this warning

    Vmware Player Warning.png

    So I want to allow the use of the "reserved host RAM" option instead of playing with the pagefile, but setting told me to doesn't seem to exist in VMware Player

    vmware player mem settings.png

    Is there something I can add to the VMX file to enable this option?

    Porto Richardson wrote: this setting for VMware Player is found in the file config.ini to the player %allusersprofile%/VMware/VMware

    The OP said "I'm under VMware Player on a Ubuntu 14.04 host" so the file name and path you mentioned is not applicable.

    @LukeJS host on a Ubuntu (Linux) from the file name won't get the .ini extension and will be simply called the config and will be parked at/etc/vmware /.  So with the machine virtual shutdown is not suspended and VMware Player closed then a Terminal used the following command.

    sudo nano/etc/vmware/config

    Then add the following line.

    prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

    It is essentially the same parameter that gets the value of the UI of VMware Workstation preferences for submission in response to the message that despite the instructions contained in the message does not exist in the VMware Player preferences user interface.

    My laptop runs Win7, I use Google Chrome, PuTTY, WinSCP client-side

    My hardware router has an IP address 192.168.0.1

    My VMware - Server Ubuntu - is configured to use the DHCP protocol

    Online I mean a wireless connection to the router and the internet

    Offline - I mean wireless internet connection/no

    Networking networking

    Works ok online. Does not work in offline mode

    When online, I get IP 192.168.0.7 ifconfig in vmware... I can ping the router from the virtual machine and ping the server ubuntu from the command-line to Win7

    Offline... Ping from VM to the router and Ping from Win7 to VM fail.

    NAT networking

    Does not work online or offline

    When 'online' I get IP 192.168.91.128 to ifconfig in VMware, I can ping the router hardware virtual machine ok. When I ping the server ubuntu command line of Win 7 I Request Timed Out

    In offline mode, I get the same IP 192.168.91.128 to ifconfig in the virtual machine. I can't ping the virtual machine hardware router... Destination Host Unreachable. When I ping the server ubuntu command line of Win 7 I have inaccessible Destination host

    Host-Only

    does not work for me either online of offline...

    While online, that is to say that I can get the IP... 192 168 110 128 but the virtual machine can't ping router... Network unreachable. Win7 cannot ping server... Request Timed Out

    While offline, I get the same address IP 192 168 110 128, but VM is unable to ping router network unreachable. Win7 cannot ping server... Destination Host Unreachable

    On the screenshot-VMnet1 as VMnet8 - have APIPA (assigned automatically free private) IP addresses, which should not be the case. Unfortunately I can't tell you what is the cause! Could be something of a facility fails to a VPN client. What you can do, is click on the 'Restore defaults' button in the editor of virtual network or re - install VMware Player (uninstall, reboot the host and reinstall "as Administrator").

    If you have access to the virtual network editor depends on the VMware Player version you are using. With some older versions - which had the "vmnetui.dll" in the installation folder - it was possible to start to operate:

  • 8.1 for Windows and VMware Player 6.0.1 build-1379776 "without Internet access.

    After updating my system Windows 8 Pro 8.1 two VMware (VMnet1 and VMnet8) network adapters are listed as 'Unidentified network, Public network' ' type of access: no access to Internet. I uninstalled VMware Player, reinstalled, and done a repair without change installation.  The result is when I run one of my Windows VMs they cannot connect to my network or host computer.  For example, in a Windows 7 VM "Network and sharing Center" the active network is displayed in the Public network and it is not stressed so I can't change it to private and enable sharing.

    I have also noticed that several articles about 8.1 and this kind of problem you suggest use modern PC Interface settings to change the network card for this problem, but which lists only map host of the PC, not the VMware adapters network. It of as if 8.1 does not recognize or even allow control of VMware cards - at least not when using the network settings of the modern graphical user interface.

    Halp!

    vmware network issue.png

    DOH!  Why didn't think of this?

    I had previously uninstalled and then reinstalled the latest version of VMware Player and yet still had the network problem. What fixed it was to re-run the installer of the player and select Repair. Who sets the network problem. Why didn't the new installed work? I guess he needs a couple of installs to do things.
