VMware Workstation 4

If you used the RPM installer to install version 2 or 3, take the following steps to upgrade to version 4. If you are currently using version 3.0, you need to uninstall the RPM package of prebuilt modules that was installed with 3.0 before you uninstall the 3.0 software. You do not need to take this step if you are currently using version 2.0 or 3.1.

1. If you are running version 2, uninstall it as root by running
   rpm -e VMware

   If you are running version 3.0, uninstall the prebuilt modules as root, then uninstall VMware Workstation by running
   rpm -e VMwareWorkstationKernelModules
   rpm -e VMwareWorkstation

   If you are running version 3.1 or 3.2, uninstall it as root by running
   rpm -e VMwareWorkstation

2. Install version 4 following the instructions in Installing VMware Workstation 4 on a Linux Host.

   Note: When you are upgrading with the upgrade product, the installer checks for the presence of a version 3 license on the computer. If it finds no version 3 license, it prompts you to enter your version 3 serial number.
