It seems that as a result of our going off Daylight Savings, I am no longer able to start up my virtual workstation which is listed in Suspend mode. I keep getting the following message, This product has expired and your virtual machine cannot be powered on. Be sure that your host machine's date and time are set correctly.

There is a more recent version available at the VMware Fusion Web site: "http://vmware.com/info?id=4"

I've checked my license, which has over 284 days left. I'm really at a loss as for why this is happening and how to fix it. Does anyone have any ideas?

VMware Product? Version/build?

It looks to me like you're running a beta version of Fusion 2.0 which has expired. Fusion 2.0 has been released and you need to upgrade to the released version 2.0.0 (116369). For download instructions, see **Free** VMware Fusion 2.0 Upgrade with Over 100 New Features & Enhancements Now Available!.

Permanent serial numbers for 1.x and 2.0 will work on Fusion 2.0 - they don't expire, but the beta software does regardless of key.
Is your license a permanent or evaluation license?
