I am currently performing an evaluation of VM Workstation.
I have a VM (full) clone, that I copied from my desktop to my notebook, and I have VM Workstation 9 installed on both machines.
When I open the VM on the notebook, and move the mouse to the menu bar, I get a closed padlock displayed in the centre of the VM's desktop. When I moved the mouse over the padlock, a red foward slash is shown over the padlock.
I also experienced this same behaviour before while using VMware Player instead of VM Workstation, after having copied the VM folder from the desktop to the notebook. At that time, I wondered whether this behaviour was due to the need to use VM Workstation instead of VM Player. Having now the same experience in VM Workstaton, it would appear that that was not the reason.
Can anyone possibly explain why I am seeing this?
