I'm using VMWare Player to run some virtual machines. Recently I needed to use the VMWare Virtual Disk Manager utility (to convert some dynamic disks to fixed), and since it doesn't come with Player, I installed the evaluation version of VMWare Workstation. After I was done, I uninstalled Workstation and reinstalled Player, but apparently Player thinks I'm still using an evaluation licence because it shows "Expired license" in the title bar and the following message in the main window:
Your evaluation license has expired. To continue commercial use of this product, purchase a license.
How can I revert back to the free-for-personal-use version of VMWare Player? I've already tried completely uninstalling all VMWare products and reinstalling Player, but that doesn't work, the "Expired license" message persists.
