Vmware Workstation Player 17 License Key

[Práxedes Jamal]

Ive tried sudo vmware-installer -u vmware-player before, but the app is still there. It can be seen in App Menu, and can EVEN be launched and used, but it is not listed in vmware-installer -l - it only shows VMWare Workstation PRO (i installed it right away after presumably uninstalling Workstation Player). I couldn't find any relevant folders in usr/bin as well. What can i do? I don't want to reinstall Ubuntu just for that.

Turns out Player is a vital component for Workstation - it is considered a component that can not be removed. That is utterly stupid, but what can i do. I deleted the shortcut from App Menu from /usr/share/applications/ and /usr/local/share/applications/, that's better than nothing, I guess.

I know there are other tutorials for VMWare Workstation Pro and the procedure is quite similar. Following on of these tutorials ( -tutorial-vmware-workstation-dsm-62-install-esxi-compatible) brought me very close to my goal but still I had to do some try and error, therefore I am sharing my piece of the cake here.

1. XPE will not recognize more than the SATA boot drive and 1 other SCSI disk. No matter what other port I choose for the SCSI disks, they are not visible in XPE. I think I recreated this VM about 20 times trying different configurations. I tried adding up to 12 drives in the initial creation of the VM, no luck. I tried with just the boot drive and adding data drives one by one, and all at once, after booting XPE, no luck. No matter what I do, it will only see one data drive. Other than that, I can create a volume and pool with that single drive, share it to my home network, and add packages with no problems.

2. XPE will reset whenever I reboot the VM. It boots right up, but goes to the initial menu of setting up a new Synology, including reinstalling DSM. All settings, drives are gone. I checked and the VM sees the boot drive as persistent, and the data drive is also listed as persistent. I can create and revert to a snapshot no problem, but weird that I cannot reboot the VM.

Well apparently now I can add/remove drives if I use SATA drives during a live VM session, so that is good. The system just will not see SCSI drives other than the first one. I still have the problem that the VM resets if rebooted. I will keep looking into it and post back.

It is not support by Aruba officially but you can install it on vmware workstation. After installation, before powering up the VM, edit the VM and just add another hard drive with 80Gb or more capacity. You are good to go!

I imported the vmdk file to Workstation and then mounted the ISO to the machine. However, it keeps asking me the installation file. Can you ellaborate a little on what you mean by Importing the VM. I don't believe there's an option for that in Workstation. Not that proficient in it though.
