exactly right! we all fell for the cheap price. Turns out it was just a hardcopy backup DVD without any lisence key. I followed the bouncing ball, went to the VMWare site, and bought a lisence for Fusion. I used that key to activate the VMWare program and everything went smooth as warm milk through a puppy. I've got Windows7 installed and up and running and I'm very happy with VMWare and Windows7. Too bad about the extra cost of the hard copy DVD - let that be a lesson to me, you can't get something for nothing (or next to nothing), and there'll always be someone (Dell in this case) ready to cash in on our "something for nothing" fever.
So, the upshot is: I spent, with shipping, $72 for something that would have only cost around $50. ----- Original Message ----- From: wayne17a To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, July 12, 2013 2:28 PM Subject: vm and del Hello ,all I just received my vm disc from del and when I installed it I was asked for a product key but could not find one so when I rang del I was told I had to purchase a key so has anyone else had the same problem and is that right because I thought you could get the app for free and then buy a key so did anybody get a product key from del thanks in advance -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
