vagrant-vmware-fusion licensing error message "Vagrant hasn't been able to verify your usage

[Dave Hildebrandt]

Hi gang,

So I was getting this message:

bash$ vagrant status

Vagrant hasn't been able to verify your usage of 'vagrant-vmware-fusion' in

over two weeks. Please connect to the internet to allow Vagrant to verify

your license. If you don't verify the license within 4 to 6 weeks, you will

be locked out.

Current machine states:

chef                      not created (vmware_fusion)

...

I am online.  It's probably some sort of interaction with the corporate proxy, but setting http_proxy to http://ourproxy:port is not effective.

I found a file ~/.vagrant.d/data/last-ping-vagrant-vmware-fusion which contained a large integer in text form.  It was there after uninstalling the plugin.  So I moved it aside and reinstalled the plugin and its license. I no longer get the error message.  However, the last-ping file is not there.

Have I solved a problem or just delayed it for a few weeks?

Well, you certainly solved it for me.

Although what I did was open that file, then set the last ping date to a date far in the future.

The date stamp in the file was 1518199687

I changed that to the year 2022, so now it looks like this:

2218199687

..and the problem went away. I did not even need to restart the machine or remove/reinstall anything.

How about that. No comments for 3 years and then there is Guy yesterday and me today.

Nothing wrong with my internet connection but my last-ping is 1518601132.
