Finding Fusion 5 License on Yosemite

So I just finished running the Yosemite update, and or course, vmware no longer runs. So I wanted to run the 5-7 upgrade but I can't figure out a way to locate the Fusion 5 license key. Obviously I know have no way to load the program on Yosemite, it appears that the license was never registered to my online account, and I can find no record of vmware sending me any purchase validation emails. So I'm kinda stuck here. Just trying to avoid paying full price for 7. If anyone has any tips on finding an old license key, they would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Copy and paste the following command in a Terminal then press Enter:

grep "Serial" /Library/Preferences/VMware\ Fusion/license-fusion-5*
