You might have done this, and I may be misinterpreting your email, but I'll send this
out anyway:
the license file needs to be place in the .vmware (not the fullstop at the start)
directory that exists in the home directory of the user that will be using vmware.
eg, user jbloggs wants to run vmware, copy the license file to
/home/jbloggs/.vmware/license.file
this is how I've set up the license on my PC at home, and works just fine for
vmware2.0.3
hope this helps....

Hello again everyone. I have installed a trial version of VMWare at work
under Windows 2000 professional, and it works quite nicely. However, I am
having some difficulty with the trial version of VMWare for LM7.2 The
version that came on the cd's wouldn't install, said the package was corrupt.
So, I downloaded it over again. That went ok, and I installed the .rpm ok,
then ran the vwmare-config.pl file with minimal incident (needed to compile a
new module for my kernel) and I even setup like I did at work to boot into
windows under Linux, but, it says I don't have a valid key. I have the trial
key, and i put the file in the vmware directory, and i tried renaming it to
just say license, but nothing is working for me. Is quite annoying. I even
made the vmware folder hidden, which seemed to be what the instructions
wanted. So, I just don't know what to do at this point. Maybe someone can
give guidence?
Thanks in advance,
Joe
