Selecting Your Host System
VMware GSX Server is available for both Windows and Linux host computers. The
installation files for both host platforms are included on the same CD-ROM.
Your serial number allows you to use VMware GSX Server only on the host operating
system for which you licensed the software. If you have a serial number for a Windows
host, you cannot run the software on a Linux host, and vice versa.
To use VMware GSX Server on a different host operating system — for example, to use
it on a Linux host if you have licensed the software for a Windows host — purchase a
license on the VMware Web site. You may also get an evaluation license at no charge
for a 15-day evaluation of the software. For more information, see
www.vmware.com/download/.
