VMWare Workstation license problem

• VMWare Workstation license

  I think to buy VMWare Workstation, so I can test Windows 2008 R2 on my home PC (don't have a new server yet).   If I buy VMWare workstation can only use this license for a single host or I can use it for multiple hosts.

  I would like to install on my laptop and my office if possible... hoping that this does not mean that I need two licenses.

  Thank you

  Mike

  Install Workstation on the host that you use most of the time to work with virtual machines.

  On all other computers, install the free VMplayer.

  Both products are directly compatible Exchange you the virtual machines from one host to the host no matter if this host run VMplayer or workstation

• VMWare Workstation license transfer

  I searched and followed the General information here which was to uninstall VMWare and re - install on a new computer.  The original VMware was version 8 x and I never upgraded to 9 or 10.  Now that I'm moving computers, I uninstalled x 8 and downloaded 10.  When installing, I enter my license key but it says my key is invalid.  I'm reaching out to my sales person to Ingram, but I was wondering if I am doing something technically wrong.

  Each major version requires a new license key.  If you only have a version 8.x license, you will need to download and install the latest version of 8.x (click on the link to the download page of other Versions on the workstation), or upgrade your license to a version 10.x license.

• Issue of license VMware Workstation and VMplayer

  Hi all:

  
  

  Can anyone help to answer this question.  Thank you in advance.

  
  

  I have a valid license of VMware Workstation 9, can VMware Workstation and the VMplayer separately install on two computers and use them in business environment?

  The VMware Player delivered in the Installation of VMware Workstation is not separable from the installation of VMware Workstation or VMware Workstation license.  If you want to run VMware Player by itself then you must download the VMware Player installer, which installs only VMware Player not VMware Workstation.  You cannot cut files VMware Workstation installed between two systems.  So if you want to use it commercially you must buy a license of VMware Fusion!

  I hope that now this is clear enough for you to grab!

• 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.

• Installation of VMware workstation in a machine with vmware server 2.0 is already installed?

  is it possible to install the latest version of vmware workstation (I guess that's 6.5) in a machine where vmware server 2.0 is already installed? where possible there at - it something I should know before installing vmware workstation (eg. problems known, network suspends etc.)? in particual I am a little concerned network mangement (eg. both vmware server and vmware workstation in fact add virtaul adapters: is a possible trouble caouse?). The host of the virtual machine is vista ultimate x 64 with 8gig of ram and a quad core cpu.

  I did a little research, and from what I understand, this was not possible with vmware server 1.0 x.. as the situation has changed with vmware server 2.0?

  (in case you are wondering why I sholud be willing to do):

  I worked with vm ware Server 2.0 for about a year, but now I miss some of the features that are only present in vmware workstation: multiple snapshot and clone VM vm ware server... However is much more flexible when you don't have physical access to your VM host... so I was wondering if it is possible to get the best of both worlds : I would like to use vm ware workstation allows you to configure virtual machines and manage snapshots and vmware server to remotely manage virtual machines, I've created with workstation. Is it not possible?

  Thanks in advance for your attention

• Problem downloading the components of VMware Workstation

  Hi, I use VMVware Workstation v 7.1.2 build 301548 on a Windows 7-64 bit SP1 Workstation.

  I have no problem with my Internet Explorer to connect to the Internet via the proxy (ISA 2006) on port 8080.

  If I try to install VMware tools in a new virtual machine or if I try to "Download all components now" I get only a popup with

  -VMware Workstation connects to the update server

  -Update Server: https://softwareupdate.VMware.com/CDs (which is no problem for my Internet Explorer to this site)

  -Proxy server: http://visa06:8080 (which is correct)

  -State connection: connection...

  But it never ends. Any log file to check?

  On my ISA Server I see the following:

  ERROR_SUCESS 0X0

  0X800074E21 FWX_E_ABORTIVE_SHUTDOWN

  No idea what is the problem?

  If you have a licensed copy of connection workstation to your account and download Vmware WS 7.1.3 fo your Linux or Windows platform.  For Linux, download the full .bundle file.  It includes all the tools.  If this isn't the case, you don't need to download an eval copy and leave there a license.

• Network bridge in VMware Workstation 11 connection problems

  I have bridged network connection problems in VMware Workstation 11. So far I have tried:

  
  

  Re: Windows Pro/Ent 8.1 Overview invited - stop Windows Net Performance, away from work

  
  

  Re: Flow very slow network-> Guest host, but no comments <-home

  
  

  So far, none of the solutions worked. I turned off "Large Send Offload" on each adapter that I could find on the host and the guest. Nothing. Restore these settings in any combination with other out does not work either. I edited the .vmx file and replace by vmxnet3 occurrences, and that no longer works. So far nothing I've tried has worked. I disabled all firewall and antivirus. Still nothing. When I run Guest OS Windows Network Diagnostics, I get the "your modem broadband has connectivity problems." However, I know that this is not the case. I also used the "Virtual Network Editor" to force the bridge connection to select the correct network card (in my case, it's the Intel Centrino Wireless - N 1030 wireless card), but still no luck. Any help would be much appreciated.

  
  

  Thank you

  So I finally the solution look. BitDefender firewall was blocking all traffic on the connection Bridged in VMware Workstation. I have disabled the firewall completely Bitdefender and Bridged Networking worked perfectly. I'll probably create another topic more precisely around Bitdefender firewall configuration to allow traffic network through Bridged from VMware.

• I have a problem starting up a Windows XP Pro Machine virtual Windows 8 host system (which has VMware Workstation 10.1).

  I am new to the virtual machines.  For several months I've been running a Windows XP Virtual Machine in an old machine of Windows 7 with VMware Workstation 7.0.  The hard drive is having some problems at times, so I thought that I could move the virtual machine on a new computer that has an OS 8.1 Windows and VMware Workstation 10.  For example, on the Windows 7 machine, I copied the directory with all the * .vm files and pasted into the machine to Windows 8. But when I tried to start VMware Workstation 10 in Windows 8 machine, I got the message "this virtual machine policies are too old to be run by this version of VMware."  I went to the knowledge base and used the solution described here: I've deleted the lines of three 'policy' of the .vmx file and added the suffix .ancien to the .vmpl file, which actually disabled.  Now, when I try to start the virtual machine, the black screen appears with the VMware logo in the Center and everything seems fine, but Windows XP starts.  And logo VMware guard churning away as in a continuous loop.  It is not easy to stop.  The only way to stop VMware is via the Task Manager or restart the machine.

  What must I do to get the Windows XP Pro VM to run in the new machine?

  VMWare technical support suggested that I have disable 3D acceleration (VM > settings > view and uncheck the box 3D graphics acceleration).  The virtual machine starts now with some minor problems, but it is usable.  But by closing accel 3D turns, in the words of the Technical Support Engineer, David, that there is "a problem with the graphics card not imitate or through its capacity to the virtual machine.  In other words do not support to the VM guest 3D acceleration. "My next step is to make sure that I have the updated driver for the Intel HD Graphics 4600 display adapter.

  Minor problems are:

  (1) the virtual machine works best in screen mode reduced.  There are a few problems speed mode full-screen.

  (2) the VM will still work after switching on of the host.  But after execution of the virtual machine, if power you the virtual machine and the release of VMware workstation, then later, start the workstation, the virtual machine will power not.

  To turn it on again you must out of VMware Workstation, disconnect the host machine and then reopen it in one.

• USB foot pedal problem (Infinity IN-USB-2): recognized by Windows but does not work on VMware Workstation 10

  When I connect an Infinity IN-USB-2 pedal for my guest Windows 7 Professional (on Ubuntu 14.04 and VMware Workstation 10.0.2), the pedal gets recognized by Windows and different applications, but by pressing the pedal itself has no effect.

  I downloaded a USB foot pedal Tester (http://vec-infinity-in-usb-1-foot-pedal-tester.soft112.com/) on the client and he acknowledged that the device is connected, but when I pressed on any of the three pedals, the tester has not detected the presses.

  I tried the pedal on a real Windows computer, and it worked fine.

  When I connect the pedals, even with the guest in the foreground, VMware Workstation will appear a dialog box:

  The specified device is claimed by another (usbhid) driver on the host operating system. The device can be used. To continue, the appliance will be first disconnected from its current driver. [Cancel] [OK]

  When I click 'OK', we state above: Windows recognizes that the device is connected, but foot-presses are not detected. My other USB devices are not pop this dialog box. (Click Cancel maintains the device disconnected from the guest.) I don't know if the dialog box is significant or a red herring.

  Here's what/var/log/syslog says when I connect the pedal with the Windows client in the foreground:

  kernel: [281434.822751] usb 2 - 1.7: new low speed USB device number 28 using ehci-pci

  kernel: [281434.920667] usb 2 - 1.7: new USB key found, idVendor is 05f3, idProduct = 00ff

  And when I click on "OK" to the dialog, he said:

  kernel: [281480.900448] usb 2 - 1.7: reset low speed USB device number 28 using ehci-pci

  When I unplug the device, it is said:

  kernel: [281517.582472] usb 2 - 1.7: unplug USB, the device number 28

  Thanks for the ideas on solving this problem.

  Answering my own question: I spoke with a salesman who told this pedal does not work on virtual machines for the following reason:

  These pedals are all just Universal USB controllers that require programs or applications to be able to see and recognize them for use. Because they are installed by the base of Windows and Generic USB devices drivers, they can not be seen my remote computers via USB sharing etc.

  They recommended using a hotkey program to work around the problem. I have not tried this solution, but bought a different pedal that works out of the box with VM: a vP-1 vPedal. Lower build quality than infinity (in my opinion) but it works perfectly.

  This is the idea of the key of the seller:

  I have a solution that will allow you to use the pedal as expected if the remote program who need to use supports the use of shortcut keys. For example, these pedals are commonly used with NCH Software Express Scribe professional software. This software can use either a pedal, or you can assign the playback functions to access keys. In the scenario you are talking you re Express Scribe on the remote computer to use keyboard shortcuts, you then install Pedalware (http://www.altoedge.com/pedalware/index.html), a free Windows only the foot pedal utility made by NCH Software, you then use the Pedalware utility to assign the buttons on the pedal of a keyboard shortcut that coincides with those remote program.

• Problems of synchronization of time in VMWare Workstation 10

  Hello

  I have VMWare Workstation 10 and I have problems with the system clock. I have Windows 7 installed (not allowed).

  The system clock is not synchronized with the clock of the host computer. I turned on time-synch, update the virtual machine but I still have this problem.

  What should I do to fix this?

  Thank you

  Hi, Overexposed731

  If you machine has been added in the field, then maybe you can't find the internet time. in such a situation, perhaps, you need to start service 'windows time' to support the synchronization of time with your domain name.

  If not in the field, you should find the internet configuration of time by following the steps.

  1. click on the time in the bottom right of your desktop

  2. click on "change data and Setup... times." "in the dialog box, then you will find 'internet Time' tab in the pop-up window

  Hopefully useful.

• NAT with VMWare Workstation 9-Urgent problems

  
  Hello

  Try to use NAT in VMware Workstation 9 and am lost in my VM connection.

  But when I use the network bridge, it works very well.

  Is someone can you please help me solve?

  I tried reinstalling VMware workstation for all n No.. times and restored the settings of the Virtual Network Editor as well.

  Help, please!

  It seems that the client does not receive a DHCP address? Assuming that the virtual network adapter in the virtual machine settings is 'connected' (which, I guess, because you said Bridged works very well), you can check if there is a problem with the installation. Please run services. MSC (or net start from the command line) to see what VMware services are running on the host computer.

• WinRunner license with VMware Workstation

  Evaluate us VMware Workstation 10.0 and we try to install Winrunner on a virtual machine but the Winrunner trying to get out to the network on the virtual machine to find the license competition, every time, we have created (OS Win 7), installation is suspended. The error indicates the installation Winrunner is unable to find the license on the network.

  Verified that the network is in place and works very well. Check that the license exists on the network (installed on another computer to test using a ghost image). Anyone got any ideas on why installing Winrunner can not find the license?

  Concerning

  Your guest VM is configured to use NAT or Bridged network mode?  Not sure if it would be serious, but it is possible - if it's NAT - the license service is unable to return to the virtual machine.

• Problem with VMWare Workstation combo, .vhd virtual drives and physical disks in the sector of size 4K?

  All,

  I suspect something wrong with some of my virtual machines.  I have been using these virtual machines for a while, and I see some weird behaviour recently.

  I see a lot of corruption in the virtual hard disk (.vhd based).  CHKDSK automatically gets performed many large files such as Oracle datafiles get damaged etc...  It all seems quite random and inconsistent, but I am using .vhd virtual machines in VMWare Workstation for years without problem.  This problem is new, and hard drives are basically unstable.

  I * think * (and I'm totally off base) that is perhaps the issue with my new external hard drives.  These discs have a 4 KB sector size, without e512.  Thanks to this architecture of hard drive, don't mount not the tools of Microsoft or manupulate .vhd files on these disks.  The questions seem to go away if I switch to vmdk or switch to the physical hard disk size-one-sector 512kb.  Because errors are not compliant, that I don't really have a way to document/prove that is the case, but it seems to be.

  I use version 9.0.0 on Windows 7 Workstation, and the guest is Windows Server 2008R2.

  My question is:

  (1) what meaning?

  (2) how I prove/document, since it is a contradiction?

  (3) is this a known problem?

  (Btw, switching HDD's vmdk is not an option in our case due to an obscure legal agreement with Microsoft.  I have to distribute my VMs in vhd format, even if they are designed to run on VMWare...)

  -> Adam

  These discs have a 4 KB sector size, without e512.

  (I've highlighted "without e512" in "BOLD" to key in my answer to the host operating system.)

  -L'OS is Windows 7 Enterprise

  According to the political support for the 4 K sector hard drives in Windows, Windows 7 does not support the native 4 K (logical 4 k sector size) but it does not support Advanced Format or 512th (size of logical sector physical and 512 bytes of 4 K) and that is can be the question.
