It's kinda silly to require a license to be able to add a license, don't you think? So how do I go about and add the key via script? Returned were XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX Changing license source to: file:/path/to/plaintext-file-that-contains-my-license-key.txt Caught unexpected exception Type: N5Vmomi5Fault17NotEnoughLicenses9ExceptionE what() = GetMsg() = There are not enough licenses installed to perform the operation. I always get the following error message: Reading local file: /path/to/plaintext-file-that-contains-my-license-key.txt Size of file is 24 bytes. Adding the key that way doesn't work, however.
Vmware-vim-cmd -H hostip -O portnumber vimsvc/license -source file '/path/to/plaintext-file-that-contains-my-license-key.txt' plaintext-file-that-contains-my-license-key.txt contains my key in XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX format, I've also tried it with an extra carriage return at the end. Hi all, I recently discovered the vimsvc/license command in vmware-vim-cmd and was trying to use that to automatically add my license key to a fresh vmware installation. The Microsoft Runtime DLL installer failed to. Migrate option is grayed out on a powered-off virtual machine. Vmware Tools Installation failes Error: The Microsoft Runtime DLL installer failed to complete installation. The Microsoft Runtime DLL installer failed to complete.
