License problem with Vmware 3.5 U2
Many have reported it, but there is a bug in U2 for vmware 3.5. If you upload a license, something wrong and you wil get the following error:
This product has expired. Be sure that your host machine’s date and time are set correctly.
There is a more recent version available at the VMware web site: http://www.vmware.com/info?id=4.

Module License Power on failed
Duncan from www.yellow-bricks.com pointed out a solution on VMTN forum:
Find the host where a VM is located
run ‘ vmware-cmd -l ‘ to list the vms.
issue the commands:
service ntpd stop
date -s 08/01/2008
vmware-cmd /vmfs/volumes/vm path/vmname.vmx start
service ntpd start
But be carefull with this workaround, your vm’s will also get back in time.
Hope Vmware will release a patch soon.
Update 2008-08-13:
Apparently is was a big issue because Vmware has released a patch. You can find it at:
