SuSE Linux: Versions since 7.0
VMware: Version Workstation 3.x
The license is no longer valid after upgrading from VMware Workstation 2.0.x
to VMware Workstation 3.x.
Obviously, the "licence key" of VMware 2.0.x does not work for a VMware 3.x, since this is a wholly new version.
Vmware 3.x you needs its own "serial number", which must be introduced only
once when starting VMware 3.x for the first time.
This applies to full as well as to upgrade versions. The serial number can be
found on the CD box of the purchased Workstation 3.x. If you want to activate a VMware 3.x demo
version, you have to register at VMware and apply for a licence. If you
already have a VMware 2.0.x full version and you want to upgrade it to VMware
3.x, you are of course entitled to a more economical "upgrade
licence".
