- in order to use it, I was sent to a 3rd party site I had never dealt with before that provides the keys;
- the site requires me to enter part of my credit card as my proof of purchase to use it;
- it then takes me to a totally broken page, which, thankfully, has a license key;
- that license key is rejected for some indeterminate amount of time by vmware.com due to a known slowness problem with their key distribution system;
- once it’s finally not rejected, vmware.com still merrily asks me to give it an email that it knows damn well it didn’t give me but still accepts just the correct key from the key distro site anyways
There, I fixed it so it's not such blog spam, buy software much?
