Can someone provide the activation method for VMware 1.0.1 version? Thank you!
Hello everyone,
I recently came across VMware Workstation 1.0.1 (released in 1999) while exploring legacy virtualization software. Since this is a very early version, I’m having trouble finding a valid activation method or license key.
Does anyone still have documentation or keys from this version?
Were early VMware versions even activated via serial keys, or was it a different method?
If no official method exists, are there known workarounds to use it today?
I’m testing it on a period-accurate Windows NT/2000 machine and would appreciate any insights from those who used VMware back in the day.
Thanks in advance!
