Help ! How to change UUID (VMware Text) ?

[xairosk]

Hi Guys.

I'm need help.

VM in open CMD and this code enter > wmic csproduct get identifyingnumber

Show number = VMware-54-48-***.....

How do I remove VMware ?

So enter get identify command and show 54-48-***... (No VMware Article)

Please help me 😕

Out of curiosity, why would you possibly want to change this?

I assume they're attempting to get Windows to activate by changing their UUID to match another system that is already activated.

I expect that the "vmware" part of the string is hardcoded.

I'm not sure I follow your description/explanation.

Certainly, if it's about Windows activation, you need to have a new/different product ID for Windows.  If/when you do, you can run the VM and (re-)activate it.

If it's about the name for the VM in any way, you can modify it in Workstation/vmdks.
