Move license from Windows to Linux

[ShosMeister]

I've owned a license since like v5 and am looking to get a server and install linux on it. Can I move my vmware Workstation license to that machine or do I need a new license? It will be removed from the current Windows box and only run from the one machine. Access from other machines on the network will be via remote access to the server - unless there's a better way.

Thanks!!!

This FAQ page says yes you can switch the licence.

Quote from the FAQ:

Can I switch between Windows and Linux versions?

Yes. You can switch between Windows and Linux versions of VMware Workstation Pro using the same license key. If you decide to switch host operating systems, you must uninstall Workstation Pro from the host operating system you no longer plan to use. If you plan to run VMware Workstation Pro on a Linux host and a Windows host, you need to purchase two licenses.

Sorry I missed that in the FAQ. I did a search and it showed no results. Maybe the search doesn't extend to the FAQ? Anyway, thanks so much for the reply!!!
