Question on upgrade license of workstation 7

Hi there,

I currently have workstation 6.5 license (working on Windows Vista machine). Now I want to upgrade and install workstation 7 on the fresh-installed Windows 7. I assume that only the upgrade license (not the full) needs

to be purchased. Is that correct? What is the licensing steps? Would it ask for both 6.5 serial number and 7 serial number?

Notice that I don't want to install 6.5 first, then install 7. In fact, I already have the workstation 7 trial version installed at the moment -- just want to apply the serial number....

Thanks.

When you purchase the upgrade your 6.5 license will be changed into a 7 license - you will no longer have a 6.5 license, only a 7 license.

Hi there,

Do you mean that I should buy vmware workstation upgrade? How to do this? I have a license key for VMware workstation 6.x and find this cannot work for vmware workstation 7. Could you give me a link or tell me detail info.

Thank you.
