In your home directory (depends weather you are root or a user), there is a
hidden directory called ".vmware". There is where you have to install the
file that came attached within the email that VMWare sent to you. It's not
necesary to make a copy-paste work, simply download it to that directory and
you'll see vmware working fine, cause the filename begins with the word
"license". Good luck!!!
