Hmmm... seems like they tightened up their evaluation licenses for 2.0 - I know that you can get an eval license for 2.0 if you had a 1.x eval license before, but obviously you can only get one 2.0 eval license. At least *I* cannot get a new 2.0 eval license - bummer. But OTOH they *seem* to check the the system date you started the vmware executable, not the current time when the virtual machine boots... good to know that Linux runs rock-solid for months (if there weren't these annoying montlhy emergency power supply tests here at Uni, I could get an uptime of much more than 31 days...) =========================================================================== This Mail was sent to netboot mailing list by: Klaus Espenlaub <espenlaub@informatik.uni-ulm.de> To get help about this list, send a mail with 'help' as the only string in it's body to majordomo@baghira.han.de.
