Can't add serial code/activate VMware

Question

I download latest VMware Workstation form VMW page, and install it in Ubuntu 13.04. When i run VMW it ask me for activation, so I click "Enter Licence Key" but nothings happen so I can't run machines. Even after restart. Ubuntu 13.04 with Gnome Shell

Solution 1

Open up terminal and use this command.
replace INSERT_YOUR_KEY_HERE with serial number provided to you by vmware

sudo /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx --new-sn INSERT_YOUR_KEY_HERE

Solution 2

For VMware Workstation 9 - you can run:

    sudo /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-enter-serial

and enter serial into popup

Since VMware is proprietary third party software, you will have to seek support from them.

/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx --new-sn XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX-XXX-XXXXX
