I got stuck into the license activation panel, with a message "Invalid activation key". No way to step further.

Player (free version) works perfectly, but I'm planning to use VMware suite for work, so I'm trying to upgrade to Workstation pro 16.x ...
I'll try contacting sales representatives, just in case something went wrong with my license activation key VMware sites today are experiencing some problems and service outages.
Thank you very much again for your very kind help and the time you spent on my problem, ciao from Italy,
Alessandro
