You do not have permission to enter a license key. Try again using the system administrator account.

I am in administrator's account and WHY THE FRICC STILL SHOWING THIS WINDOW UP?!?!

OS: Windows 10 May 2019 update

VMware Workstation: 15 Pro

Account(s): 1

Administrator: Yes

Why is this still happening?

My method is to copy to my Acer Device that has VMware installed and put it to Lenovo computer.

The 15 Pro can't friccin proceed to finish thing

The only version that finishes the following: VMware Workstation 15 Player (setted it to non-commercial use)

I did the same thing as the 15 Pro setting it to "Try VMware Workstation for 30 days."

And it's still happening... Pictures Below:

Any luck with resolving this? I’m having the same issue on a new laptop.  Have tried taking ownership and running as admin too.

Here are the steps I did to get it working.

1) uninstall 15.5.1

2) install 15.5.0

3) VMware bothered me with restart required after a few reboots so I ran windows update; a few were needed

4) finally could proceed with 30 day trial as usual

5) updated to 15.5.1
