Cannot add license to Player 12 on Linux without GUI

Hi Guys,

after obtaining a license key from you guys we're trying to add this license to a remote machine which does not have any GUI. This needs to be solved since we're planing to deploy this VM automatically via a configuration management system. Means, GUI is not an option at all.

What have we tried so far without success is the following command which returns the numbed lines below:

$ /usr/bin/vmware-license-enter.sh XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX Player 12.0.0

          100 licenseTool 1.0

          400 Invalid serial number.

Which Product and which Version information should we pass to this script?

We're using:

• Linux Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
• vmware-player 12.0.0.2985596

Thanks in advance for your help.

best regards,

Fabian Dörk
