Select a license file

[moshker]

Our organization is licensed for the enterprise version and I am trying to upgrade the standard version. Can I just enter the license into the standard converter or do I need to uninstall and reinstall the enterprise version? The interface is asking for a license file, but I have a license code: djfk-jkjdf-etc not a file. Any help is appreciated.

try putting the text into a plain-text file and name it with an extension of .lic

First go to http://www.vmware.com/download/licensing.html and click on the Manage VMware Product Licenses link. If you are entitled to Converter licenses you will see Vmware Converter 3.0 Enterprise listed once you log in. Once you activate the license and download the license file you can go to http://www.vmware.com/download/converter/ and click on the Enterprise Edition link to download the ISO file for cold-cloning. The installation program for hot-cloning is the same for Starter and Enterprise editions. Once you select a license file in Converter it will unlock the Enterprise features. One thing to note is that the license file you download for Converter does not work with the License Manager server. Even though it is in the same format as the ESX licenses the License Server will not recognize it. To use your Converter license file simply copy it to the server that Converter is installed on and launch the Converter application and select Administration, Licensing Information and click Add License and browser and select your Converter license file.

Thanks for your post.

I finally called sales and they sent me a .lic file, but I'll remember this for next time.
