Unable to enter vCAC licence file

[ArielGraner]

Hey to all,

I'm trying to enter the vCAC licence file (evaluation licence that I downloaded from vmware) in the installation proccess, and I get this error:

I have no other licence file, and I haven't made any changes to this file since downloading it.

Any idea?

I thought the license file is .xml

well I did try to change the extention of the file from .xml to .txt once to see if the error changes or somthing like that. I switched it back due.

still, same error.

.txt is fine. You just can't copy/paste it. You need to try download it as is and use that. Had same issue. If I remember correctly, I downloaded it on linux and just copied it to vcac-server to make it work.

Correct you cannot copy and paste the contents of the license file into a new file and then use that, you need to use the .xml file which you download from VMware. ArielGraner did you get this sorted in the end?

Download the file instead copy the text solved the problem
