Obtaining Workstation 5 license / serial number.

Can anyone tell me how to obtain a license / serial number for Workstation 5?

I can download versions of Workstation 4, 5, and 6.

Through the ISV (Independant Software Vendor Program) I can get serial numbers for version 4 and version 6. I can get a free 30-day trial for version 6 on the public site. I can't find anything for version 5.

Unfortunately I cannot run version 6; the "Default Hardware Compatibility" option to run at version 5 does not do what I need... We've got specialized scripts that will only run on version 5.

Thanks!,

If you received your license in the past through the ISV (Independant Software Vendor Program), you should have contact information.

I you missed placed this information you will need to contact the VMware Sales group or your local VMware Sale rep.

No one on the forums can help you with this issue

Thanks Kevin,

I didn't think I had any contacts for the ISV program (as all my previous work/transactions were done over the web), but I believe I do have one I'll follow up with.

Thanks,
