# Subject: RE: '''How to allow students to obtain free VMware Workstation 12 Pro for use at home''' (eg. SSDs)<br><br>'''*** REQUIRED FOR INSTRUCTORS TO DO THEMSELVES - NO ONE WILL DO THIS FOR YOU ***'''<br><br>Students are entitled to free licensed version of VMware Workstation 12 Pro.<br>It is available for ALL OPS235 / OPS335 students, but particularly useful for students that have SSD drive and want to work from home of notebook computer. You, as an instructor NEED to send Clive (e-mail:<br>clive.beetge@senecacollege.ca) with just usernames (can be done via Blackboard or moodle) students. I recommend you also post an announcement for your student like this:<br><br>"All OPS235/OPS335 students in my course is allowed a free version of VMware Workstation 12 Pro for their personal use. This particularly useful for students that have Solid State Drives and want to work on OPS235 labs at homeusing VMware Workstation 12 Pro. I have e-mailed the administrator your seneca userid, and you should be getting an email with a long subject line.<br><br>WARNING: Check your quarantine and spam filters to see if this email gets trapped since spam filters may automatically trap suspicious emails with long subject lines.<br><br>Open that e-mail to obtain your VMware Wordstation 12 Pro software and registration key."<br><br>FYI<br>Insructor's Name
