Your VMware Workstation 6.0 license is valid for Workstation 6.5.

I'm running 6.5 (with one thing you need to do to get around a segfault)
running great on F10 x64 PR (rawhide). I ran it on F9 before that. It's
definitely worth upgrading - Unity is extremely cool.

The F10 hack: Prior to running vmware-config.pl, run the following as
root:
mv /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary.old

Also, on F10, you need to make the changes referenced in the following
VMware KB article to fix keyboard mapping issues:

Hope that helps!
