Problems with activate evaluation

Hello,

I have problems do activate my Workstation. When I want to power on a virtual mashine it said i have to enter a serial.

I click on the link: Get serial number

Than i choose: Workstation (http://www.vmware.com/download/ws/eval.html)

Then i become the E-Mail and click on the link.

When i now type in the serial number @ workstation i get the error: The serial number entered did not match any licenses.

Greetings from Germany

What is your host OS?

Did you get the correct host family serial? Linux host serials are in a different format than Windows host serials.
