  1. Open up terminal and use this command.
    replace INSERT_YOUR_KEY_HERE with serial number provided to you by vmware

    sudo /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx --new-sn INSERT_YOUR_KEY_HERE

  2. For VMware Workstation 9 - you can run:

        sudo /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-enter-serial

    and enter serial into popup
