Not entirely sure what you are asking for, what Vmware product are you using?

Hello Scott,

The easiest way to see all your licenses at once, including Workstation, VI3, ESX, Server, etc. is to login to the VMware Site using the account to which the licenses were registered. You will need this to proceed. If the account was not a general company account but a personal email address of the previous administrator, you will need to get that account userid and password. THe UserId is the email address of the registrant (hopefully a generic account like vmware@company.com, instead of a personal email address).

That is the official way, barring that if this is ESX v2, then the license keys are available via the MUI, if Workstation, available via the UI, if VI3 then there is a license file and you need to get the redemption keys (once more see the previous paragraph), and for Server there is a key as well that I am not sure is available via the UI.

Best regards,
