Hi!
I am thinking to move from VirtualBox to VMWare, but I have a question about the license.
If I buy the Workstation Player, can I use the same license in both Linux and Windows version?
I will use it in two different locations:
- When I work for a enterprise client that only allow connect to the network windows machines, so I'm using windows as host and linux as guest.
- When I am working for other startups and small companies that allow to use linux, so I'm using linux as host and windows as guest.
Regards.
Hi,
AFAIK not simultaneously.

Can I switch between Windows and Linux versions?
Yes. You can switch between Windows and Linux versions of VMware Workstation Pro using the same license key. If you decide to switch host operating systems, you must uninstall Workstation Pro from the host operating system you no longer plan to use. If you plan to run VMware Workstation Pro on a Linux host and a Windows host, you need to purchase two licenses.
