Hi,
I tried to enter the license key but if I press "Enter license key" it doesn't open a new window to enter the key. Nothing happens.....
I'm on Debian/wheezy 64Bit.
Has someone a idea? Is it possible to enter the license key via CLI?
Thanks!
Same problem here, even the Vitural Network Editor did not show up after enter the sudo password.
Edit: I am on RHEL 6.3 x64
same here. great QA!
find a fix yet?
little more info. running os12.1 kde. found another thread said to un-install previous version, did, makes no difference. after re-installing and running vmware from command line as root I see "no value set for /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_tearoff". I not running gnome so why does vmware care? Confused.

Have a look at: Re: entering license key in CLI
Thanks that worked
sudo /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx --new-sn xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx
Have no idea why giu way is broken, but it is working.
Hello,
Thank you for the feedbacks. Please attach to the posting log files.
You can use CLI command: /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-enter-serial. This command will open "Enter Lisence Key" dialog.
Thanks.
Tom, I hope that's not your real key, if it is edit your post and remove it!
changed it but it was the 30 day eval as our nfr's have not been updated yet
Since it was the eval, then no big deal.
One box I got it working fine. But on another I un-installed first then ran sudo sh /xxxx.bundle and I only see "Extracting VMware Installer...done" and nothing else happens. Any ideas. Googleing now.
exact error "Failed to install the module /tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmmon.o to /lib/modules/3.1.10-1.16-desktop/misc/vmmon.ko."
Your present issue is well off topic of this thread and it would be better if you start a new discussion thread and include all the relevant particulars.
Thanks very much!
And thanks for providing a solution without my logfiles 😉
