I too am unable to run the "nogui" option. Did you ever get a resolution to this problem?

*sigh* Well that was a waste of money. It seems that even after ponying up for and applying the "commercial" license, it *still* fails to start the VM with "nogui" and *still* shows the same license error in the log file. Well, at least I have complimentary support.....

Hi, I've been using "vmrun" for some time now to launch my VM non-interactively using VMware Player under the non-commercial license. I normally launch my VM with: vmrun start my-vm.vmx nogui I recently upgraded to VMware Workstation Player 12.0.1 and VIX 1.15.1. Now when I try to start it using VIX 1.15.1, I get the following error output: Error: The operation was cancelled. When I look in the VMware log, I see the following text: 2015-11-05T17:39:45.687Z| vmx| I125: [msg.License.no_valid_license_see_website] Cannot find a license key to unlock this version of VMware Workstation. 2015-11-05T17:39:45.687Z| vmx| I125+ Go to our web site at "http://vmware.com/info?id=27&build=3160714" to obtain a valid license key. 2015-11-05T17:39:45.687Z| vmx| I125: ---------------------------------------- 2015-11-05T17:39:45.696Z| vmx| I125: LICENSE no valid one found 2015-11-05T17:39:45.696Z| vmx| I125: Module 'License' power on failed. However, I have already completed the license dialog box shown when VMware Player was first launched, and provided my email address. Launching VMware Player no longer how the license dialog and the application operates fine. If I execute the "vmrun" command with the "gui" argument instead, it starts VMware Player propertly and my VM runs fine. However, I don't *want* the VMware Player interface to appear - the VM is a server VM. Is this change intentional or a bug? TIA, James Bray

Hi everyone. I'm goroing to write monitoring application for vSphere. I create triggers for alarms and set SNMP trap action to receive real time notification. Currently I'm on alysys phase. so it's important for me to understand SNMP trap body. Can I receive alarm definition name by SNMP trap which was triggered? Or can you please attach real example of SNMP trap? Thanks in advice.

Hi, I have a floating desktop pool with about 25 machines which students use to log into via there AD accounts. My parent image has a bunch of software that works fine under the user that I installed it under,which is an admin user but I noticed that some software that gets installed takes a long time to load(when a new user logs in) because it creates a bunch of data directories or temp directories under the user the logs onto the non-persistent floating desktop. I was just curious how others are handling situations like this where they are using View as a virtual lab environment. I was looking at possibly using pgina but just wanted to see what others are using out there to simulate a physical lab.? spss and eclipse take a long time to load because it has to rebuild what ever files it needs under the student that just logged onto the virtual desktop.

'datacenter-245' is an internal (unique) identifier. There may be easier ways, but I'd use the Managed Object Browser to learn more. vSphere Documentation Center describes how to use it. I think you could simply use: https://<VC IP>/mob/?moid=datacenter-245 Or you can browse around. You'll be able to see the datacenter's 'name' there amongst other properties.
