Vmware Misc questions

[Fabio Miranda Hamburger]

Hi, I am running 4,8-stable and I installed vmware.
I have to following qwuestions.
1. vmware asks me for a license of the version and tell me to place it in
.vmware directory with a filename license, Where Can I get that lincese?
If I type www.vmweare.com/license_linux I go to a vmware store and I want
to use the free license if possible.

2. I want to emulate Windows XP, where do i have to place the instalation
files?

3. What are the init files of vmware? where can i place configuration
variables?

4. where can i get information about vmware on linux?, vmware.com just
looks like a comercial site, very far from opensource philosophy. however,
vmware is such a big usefull system.

regards,
