Workstation 7 license - have 6.5 with SnS

Hi,

I have a 6.5 license with existing SnS Platinum. Would I be able to install Workstation 7 using my existing product key?

Please advise.

Thanks,

Jason

I wasn't able to, and when I called to get an updated serial number I was told I had to wait 48 hours for it. This doesn't make any sense as I can buy a license for 7 online now. Apparently new customers can get the keys before Platinum level customers.

I just spoke to VMware. They are overwhelmed regarding demand for the new version. There servers are overloaded as well. Be patient. It will take me at least 3 days to get my license keys.

They need to post a 30 day eval key just like they did for fusion.

here is an alert that covers the situation

Found a link off that KB that includes a 30-day trial key for VMware Workstation:
