Licensing number invalid - VMWare Server 2.0.2 on Windows XP

Hi,
I installed the vmware 2.0.2 server and created a vm and got the no-license message. Then tried to enter the license for windows from the download page and vmware server said that the license number is invalid. Searched the forum and deinlstalled the vmware server and reinstalled it. During install it did not ask for a key. After installation tried to enter the key and it did not accet it. Please help.
Best regards

Here seem to be 2 solutions.
1. Uninstall the software together with serial key (the uninstall must ask about it).Then reinstall.
2. Find the registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\VMware, Inc.\VMware Server
for 64 bit or
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware Server
for 32-bit. Delete the value License.vs.1.0-00 .
Then add to the key Dormant\License.gsx.3.0-00 the following values:
"Serial"="<new_serial>"
"Name"="<Name>"
"CompanyName"="<Company_name>"
"LastModified"="2008-12-01 @ 16:00:00 UTC"
and restart VMWare Host Agent service.

Serial Number Invalid OSX Server 10.6.6

We have several servers and several serial keys. One of our servers has completely stopped responding in Server Admin. (All Services are "grayed out" and unavailable and the Serial Number is listed in Server Admin as "XSVR - 111-222-x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-x"). I have read several threads about this issue, but none seem to be resolving my problem.
I have tried to:
Disable the non-used ethernet ports.
Enter a new serial number via - Server Admin-Settings-General.
Remove the Server from Server Admin completely and then re-add it.
Run "sudo RegisterSeRV -s" in the Terminal.
Nothing is working to resolve this problem. Does anyone have any new insight or suggestions for resolving this problem?
Thanks

Hi Douglas,
Thanks for posting up!
We have a similar problem on our 10.6.5 XServe.
Three queries for you in your environment.
Do you have any processes that are running taking a huge portion of server resources? If so is it servermgrd?
Under Console do you see anything re-occurring consistently, especially something about serialnumberd?
Is your server dual-homed over two networks?
Any information you can provide is appreciated, hopefully assist us in resolving these issues!
Cheers, David

I have faced a similar problem, but I was testing a lot of things simultaneously (not very smart obviously), of which was adding SCSI and IDE disks.
Anyway:
I am running VMware server 1.0.4 on Windows XP.
I have a Solaris 10 8/07 virtual machine installed.
The VM is NATing through the host os's network.
I have two network adapters (physically on my laptop), one wireless and one wired, I can have any combination of them being enabled or disabled according to where I am working, and sometimes I start the virtual machine with neither of them enabled.
When I installed the Solaris VM, the network interface was configured as pcn0. At some point (don't know exactly what i was testing then) pcn0 was no longer available and pcn1 suddenly appeared. Later on this happened again and pnc1 disappeared and I got pcn2.
As far as I can tell this happens when I start the VM with a different combination of NIC's enabled / disable , i.e. for some reason, having a different physical interface enabled causes Solaris in the VM to configure a different instance of the pcn interface.
I am not sure yet if this is really what is going on, but for now I am focusing on testing what is running on the vm rather than giving in to my technical cravings to get to the roots of this problem, so for a quick fix, just grep for pcn in /etc/path_to_inst, and try plumbing the instances you find there. The one that does not return an error is the one that is currently working.
Just change your hostname.pcnx or pcnx.dhcp file to reflect the correct instance number and do an "svcadm clear physical" this will get your network started and start all the dependent services.
Hope this helps.

How to Expand the Screen of Windows Server 2003 on VMware Server 2 ?

Folks,
Hello. Because Windows 7 is not compatible to be installed PeopleSoft PIA, I have to install VMware Server 2 and then install Windows Server 2003, that is compatible with PIA, on the virtual machine.
But when I open Windows Server 2003 on the virtual machine, the screen of Win2K3 is very small, and its size is about 1/4 of the screen of my computer screen. This is not comfortable to work for a long time.
Does any folks know how to expand the screen of Windows Server 2003 on VMware Server 2 virtual machine so that its size covers the entire screen of my computer ?
Thanks in advance !
Lucy

Did you already installed the VMWare tools onto your VMWare guest OS ? Generally, it helps a lot to be able to redefine a larger screen definition.

SP1 for Windows Server 2008 R2 - Host ok for VmWare Server 2??

Hello,
I am running a VmWare Server 2.02 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 - Host. Are there any known problems with regard to VmWare Server 2 when installing SP1 on the Windwos Server 2008 R2 - Host? I was reluctand to install SP1, because I was unable to find information to that question. Has anybody out there with the same configuration done the SP1-Update already?
Regards,Martin Kluge

Thanks.. That's what I wanted to hear..
any updates since you posted this thread? still working?
It amazes me that they killed off Server, they could have moved it to paid and we would have been happy.
ESXi is great if your hardware supports it, ours doesn't.
We upgraded our linux OS when we did some disk upgrades on our secondary server a few weeks ago only to find server can't run on 2.6.41.. so -- its going to windows r2 2008.

Standard Upgrade Path from VMWare Server?

I've been using VMWare Server for years to test my software. Specifically I have 2 "beige box" PCs running CentOS running VMWare Server running various versions of Windows Server as domain controllers and file servers as well as numerous workstations. I have a complete mini multi-domain Windows network. When I run the tests for my software it really pushes the 2-3 vms involved with a lot of network communication and some disk activity.
With care and some brute force this has worked well. At least I don't need a stack of PCs. And it's free so it's hard to complain. But unfortunately it's not terribly reliable. The web interface stops working - sometimes only after a day. Clocks drift causing authentication issues. Generally bad things happen if I try to run more than 2 images on the same server. I've gotten to be pretty good at combating these problems but I'm hoping to find something a little more reliable.
So now I'm willing to actually pay for something (gah!) and I would like to upgrade. But VMWare has so many products I just have no idea what I should be looking for.
What is the standard upgrade path from VMWare Server?
Mike

Ok. Two people say use ESXi so I guess I'll just try to burn an ESXi DVD and see what it's like. But ...
Is performance really good enough to compile large projects and do backups over and so on?
VMware Server has worked well enough for me over the years but performance was not like real hardware. But the real problem was reliability. If I ran more than 2 VMs at a time, eventually they would just get their tentacles in a tangle and I would have to kill them and delete lock files and bah! I'm going to assume by your endorsement that ESXi doesn't have any of these problems.
Also, the machine I'm using is a lowly DELL i660 i3-3240 with 8GB of memory. I paid $429 USD for it at a local consumer electronics store! This is no server. Will it even work?

But in LR registration with Adobe is is not automatic as was the case for PS. It is an optional action that must be initiated by the user. He may not have done so.
now i downloaded the trial version of lightroom in the new computer
OP, be sure that you have downloaded the trial for the perpetual version and not for the rental (cloud) version.

Oracle license for VMWare server

A vendor is telling me I can not put their Oracle database on a VMWare server because it is only licensed for one CPU. I tried to explain I could set the VMWare session to only use one CPU but they said Oracle will not allow that. They have already proven it runs fine on VMWare but refuse to budge saying it is a dumb Oracle licensing requirement.
Is this really true? Is it OK to use a product utilizing an Oracle database licensed for a single CPU to run on a VMWare server if I restrict the session to use only one CPU?

Yes, this is correct. When using Oracle products in a virtual environment, you must count the amount of CPU-cores within the complete environment and/or cluster. So not only the single CPU which was assigned to your virtual server. The idea behind this calculation is simple: you can not guarantee that your virtual server will not consume more CPU power in the near future. You are able to assign more CPU's on the spot.
If you need more info or help buying the right amount against the right price, feel free to contact me at: [email protected]

InDesign CS6 license number being rejected as "invalid"?

Why is my new InDesign CS6 license number being rejected as "invalid" although it is the one that came with the disc and it is assigned to me on Adobe's license website? I have a Mac.

Contact serial number and licensing support. We can't do anything about that.

What do I do If I have received an invalid license number from Adobe to activate my trial version of Photoshop Elements 13

I have just purchased Photoshop Elements 13 on line and received an email with the serial number to activate my trial copy on a Mac.
When I enter the serial number to license my trial copy, I get an error message saying that " this is not a valid license number for Photoshop 13.
I have followed all instructions on Adobe's troubleshooting pages. Same result.
I have reinstalled the trail version. Same result.
I have contacted Adobe through chat and for the past three days I keep getting the message "chat not available".
I have called the Adobe sales department. They confirmed that the serial number I registered is the correct licence number but told me they cannot provide product support.
I have posted a message on this forum. No response.
Before I ask for a refund any futher thoughts on what I can do next?

Go here:

Windows Server 2012 RDS CALS on Windows Server 2008 R2 Licensing Server

Hi,
at the moment we are installing the first couple of Windows Server 2012 in our infrastructure.
Some of them have installed RDS.
Now we are wondering whether it is possible to use our existing Windows Server 2008 R2 licensing server for serving the licenses we have (yes we to have new Windows Server 2012 RDS CALS) or whether we have to install a new host based on Windows Server 2012.
We tried to add the new license to the 2008 R2 licensing server, but it is not possible. The licensing manager's error message: "The license code contains invalid characters or not enough characters."
Is there any other way?
Thanks and regards
Matthias

Hi matt_will_fix_it,
How about Windows 2012 R2 ?
Will a Windows 2012 RD Licensing server provide licences to a Windows 2012 R2 server?
I have not tested it, but it should work. Server 2012 R2 requires the same RDS CAL version as Server 2012. If you try it and have an issue please reply back.

Updated PKGBUILD for vmware-server-modules 2.0.2

Hi.
I have updated the PKGBUILD for the vmware-server-modules and added patches for kernel 2.6.35 and 2.6.36.
The package is currently marked as an orphan, so I'll have to adopt it do upload the changes, right?
Could someone please take a look at this, and say if it is good enough.
I haven't really made any changes other than adding patches for kernel 2.6.35 and 2.6.36, but since there are some 'not so positive comments' following this package in AUR maybe there is more that should be done?
It works on my x86_64 2.6.36-arch install.

Vmware server: revert - vmdb failure insufficient permission

quick question to people running vmware-server. I installed it from AUR. It works fine except for Revert (Snapshot works or to be more precise it gives no error).
vmware gui gives me two pop-up windows with the following error messages as soon as I press the "Revert" button:
- vmdb failure
- insufficient permissions

could anybody try taking a snapshot and then reverting? Don't do it on a machine you need!

Hi
Don't know if you got this fixed but I just had the same error. A bit of googling found this:
http://www.vmware.com/community/message … eID=375968
which then led to max connection errors which was fixed by this:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=34594
All seems ok now.
Your clues seems to have no sense for me.
First link point to a problem with vmware and pam, second to some problems with syslog-ng.
I don't know how it is relevant to problems with vmware's snapshot.
Anyone has an idea? As I have the same problem as waldek_a
