    23-11-2009 UPDATED Download Link on 1st post ... (added VM Player v3 to patching)

    VMware Player v3.0 bld 203739 has been released and now supports creating virtual machines, as well as playing them .. it uses bios bld 314 like W'Stn v7 ... therefore I have updated this installer to patch either Workstation (v6-7) or Player (v3).... x32/64bit.

    No plans for any further updates in the near future, but will update SLP 2.1's from time to time. ;)

    Thanks for your hard work on this! The BIOS selector is the coolest thing I have come across in a long time and your implementation of it is truly professional! It worked perfect on a Windows 7 x64 host running Vmware 7 and successfully activated Dell OEM Windows 7, Vista, XP, and Server 2008 without a glitch!

    Cheers my friend!

    Request...

    I know I may just be being picky but in a future release it would be nice to add the code for the program to request "elevated priviledges" every time run. Forgive me if this has already been suggested and shot down but it's something I think would add a little since the app needs elevated priviledges to run in most situations anyway (at least in Vista 64 which is what I'm usin')

    PS - not criticism, just my way of contributing from an end user perspective... Love the app and have added it to my VMware installation share! Thanks millions!

    Great job! especially the x64 support. But as 4share.com had long been banned by China's Great Firewall, it has been a bit annoying for me to access your program here in China. :( Can you add a 4shared-china.com download link for us. Thank you. :)

    I used the patch "A5" slic 2.1 and it said patch successful, but I see no change. When I go into vm bios it's still just the crappy limited Phoenix bios.:(

    Gotta say...I like this tool..

    One thing. Is it possible to choose a SLIC (2.0 or 2.1) for a manufacturer say, HP and then use the Multi OEM (MU) command for all SLP 1.0??

    I would have more use for it that way. if MU is selected, the slic is non-existent..I tried MU,A13 and cannot patch...

    Only thing I can think that I would like to change..

    Fantastic job....;);):D

    Thanks. I see, now. This allows you to apply a key and matching cert all vm os's so you can avoid loaders and such. It's surprizing how much joy can come from enlightenment. Thank you, again.

    No ... if you choose SLP2.1 (A1-A25), vmx.exe patches with slic 2.1 and slic 1 for the brand you selected ... like say A13 would patch with slic 2.1 and slic 1 for HP only ..... all slp2.1's have slp1 also for specific brand ..... only 2xslp2.1's don't have slp1 (Nokia & Quanmax **).

    MU .. is just AIO slp1 option.

    glad you like it tho ;)

    Is it possible to support Japanese version of VMWare WS?
    Japanese version is the only localized products of VMWare WS, so if the tool covers Japanese version, it would be great!

    The file link that you requested is not valid.
    Can you upload it again?
