Hi and welcome to the communities.

Go to https://my.vmware.com

and check if you can upgrade your license key to Workstation 11.

here's described how to upgrade keys in the portal: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2006974

If this doesn't work please open a Support Request in the my.vmware.com portal. There is a special option to open a Request about licensing questions.

I received an email with my upgrade VMware Workstation 11 key.

The key was also in the my.vmware.com account portal already - I did not have to make any kind of request to get the upgrade key.
