Vmware even states outright “VMware audits this data to insure that only eligible participants receive VMware ThinApp Starter Edition at no additional charge. I see a lot of existing WS7 users are using this link, and it seems to work, but that doesn’t make it more legal than downloading a torrent if I read the terms right. I found this post while looking for a legal way to get the starter edition, such as BUYING it, but still have found nothing. In the linked page you have to agree to the terms and conditions, which state “In order to be eligible for a single license VMware ThinApp Starter Edition for at no additional charge, you must purchase or upgrade to VMware Workstation 7 between 6:00pm Pacific Standard Time (UTC-08:00) Novemand Midnight Pacific Standard Time (UTC-08:00) April 30, 2011.”Īs far as I can tell, that means existing Workstation 7 users such as us loyal VCP’s who’ve received our WS7 licenses and dutifully upgraded our 6.x to 7 long ago can’t take advantage of this.

Actually, I think you’re wrong when you say “Successfully predicting a wave of people wondering if they can get in with their existing Workstation 7 license keys, VMware has set up a site where you can get a license key for Starter Edition:”
