thx
Can you confirm the file has not been modified, i.e. the line breaks are still Unix like line breaks? You can check this by opening the file with notepad, where the entries should show up as a single line.

I've loggend onto putty did the cat command, copied to clipboard and deleted lines before and after the file dump, save as vmware.lic
S
I've edited the file, it now only has two lines, still no go.
Thx
get licenses from VMware portal or vmware.lic file. Try using that if works.
