VCP-5 workstation 9 license

[carminenatale]

I am a vcp-5 and would like to know if we are entitled to a workstation v9 free license like we are for v8.

Thanks.

Unfortunately not. The VMware Workstation license you get with the certification is a complimentary license without subscription.

But note that WS8 has almost the same function of WS9.

The big main difference is that WS9 is supported on Windows8 host.

I was a little sad that I didn't receive a WS9 when I got my VCP but in all reality, like Andre said. There's really not much of a difference between the two (except all the nagging popups about a newer version)
