visiting <a href="http://license.hashicorp.com/upgrade/vmware2014">the license upgrade center</a>.

<p>
<strong>Do I need to pay for upgrades to my license?</strong>
</p>
<p>
The Vagrant VMware plugin licenses are valid for specific VMware
product versions at the time of purchase. When new versions of
VMware products are released, significant changes to the plugin code
are often required to support this new version. For this reason, you
may need to upgrade your current license to work with the new
version of the VMware product. Customers can check their license
upgrade eligibility by visiting the
<a href="http://license.hashicorp.com/upgrade/vmware2014">License Upgrade Center</a>
and entering the email address with which they made the original
purchase.
</p>
<p>
Please note: your existing license will continue to work with all
previous versions of the VMware products. If you do not wish to
update at this time, you can rollback your VMware installation to an
older version.

<strong>Does this include the VMware software?</strong>

with the plugin.

<strong>Why is the Vagrant VMware plugin not working with my trial version of VMware Fusion/Workstation?</strong>

While we have not been able to isolate to a specific issue or cause,
the Vagrant VMware Fusion and Vagrant VMware Workstation plugins are
sometimes incompatible with the trial versions of the VMware
products.

<p>
Please try restarting your computer and running the VMware software
manually. Occassionally you must accept the license agreement before
VMware will run. If you do not see any errors when opening the
VMware GUI, you may need to purchase the full version to use the
plugin. We apologize for the inconvience.
