<< < (4/5) > >>

BarryG:
Just got a Google alert for this Reddit post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AlomWareOnReddit/comments/17l2ajq/alomware_toolbox_v100_released/

Looks like they got rid of the hardware lock license. Hope that doesn't make them go under now. :-\

rjbull:
The very responsive author seems to have quite a few beta testers, and has been extremely busy squashing bugs and adding features.  Glad to see it made it to full release.

I hope the license isn't his downfall, too, though it's worked OK for other shareware.

EDIT:  the author points out that the unlock code is tied to the PayPal email used to purchase the code, which should deter spreading it around.

This is not the norm. I have seen few VMs that refuse to have VMware Tools upgrade, but they're few and far between, and they were built by people who weren't following best practices in the first place. I would try to investigate to see the pedigree of those VMs and look at the SOP used in building them. We have a number of new VMs with the VMware Paravirtual SCSI controller and VMXNET3 NICs and they don't have any issues upgrading VMware Tools. Maybe you have an overly-aggressive anti-malware solution that blocks/quarantines the VMware Tools install process. We've gone from ESXi 6.0 to ESXi 6.5 U3/6.7 U3, and now to 7.0 U3 without any major widespread issue with updating VMware Tools. If there are any, they're limited to a few older VMs.
