reassigning vmware workstation pro license

The installation process is fairly straightforward (customization is an option) but I used the default settings and then restarted my Windows client as you’re required to do so at the conclusion of the software installation. Once the files have been extracted to your desired location, please proceed with the installer ( VMware-workstation-full-16.1.0-17198959.exe) to install VMware Workstation Pro v16 on your Windows client. Once the file has been downloaded, you’ll then need to extract the files using 7-Zip (free and open source). As I mentioned previously, my license for v16.1.0-17198959 was provided to me free of charge when I was accepted into the VMware vExpert program for 2021. To begin the process of creating a nested virtual environment, please download and install VMware Workstation Pro (v16 is the current version).

In the meantime, I will continue to use the older laptops while doing my best to integrate my Synology DS920+. Times have changed and the form factors for the various servers have dramatically reduced in size and I’m currently considering a few options as a means to have a more permanent solution that includes more robust equipment (RAM, Storage, and Processors) to name a few. Years ago, my home lab environment included physical servers but they took up space in my basement and I could not justify keeping them (#HWHL).

In my current home lab environment, I use older laptops that meet the minimum requirements which allow me to install, configure and test the various applications provided by the vExpert program. One of the many advantages of the vExpert program includes 365-day evaluation licenses for most products for home lab/cloud providers and for more information about the program, please review this blog post.
