Ubuntu 13 Vmware Workstation Problem

Luego de instalar Ubuntu 13.04, instalé un VmWare Workstation 9.0.2 para correr maquinas virtuales, pero al tratar de meter el Número de licencia, no se abre una ventana y no es posible tipear los números.

Luego de buscar unas horas, la solución es la siguiente:


cp /usr/lib/vmware/licenses/license-ws-90-e1-201202 /etc/vmware/license-ws-90-e1-201202

vi /etc/vmware/license-ws-90-e1-201202

add the line
Serial = "xxx-xxx-xxxx-xxx-xxx"

I finally found the license directory in the /usr/lib/vmware/licenses/site folder.
In that folder you will find 3 different types of licenses, ws, ws.vl, ws.eval; which I can only assume are the different types of licenses available for purchase. After running a 'cat license-ws-90-e*-201202' I noticed that the license type for each file was different. Since e.x.p is available free to the general public, the Serial Number for the license can be found on the website where you can download VMW-TP, I assumed that it was a full version of the product. There are also 2 different versions of license files in that folder, what looks to be the version for 8.0.2, and the version for e.x.p. I copied the license-ws-90-e1-201202 file to the /etc/vmware/ directory, since that correlates to the type of license I needed. Then after running another cat on the original license file, I merely just edited the new license file with "Serial = 'XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX'", saved and restarted the VMware service. Tada!! You should now be able to start the VM, but may have a new issue, an error about the Kernel version being different than what is found. I simply rebooted the machine, and reran VMW, and it started to work.
