It's listed on the VCP5-DCV page on the VMware website. I believe we can run a red light just by flashing your VCP too!

They doing that for years .. I think I got my first with VCP3 .. doubt I got anything with the V2 ...

My intention was to highlight that workstation version 10 licenses are now being handed out to new VCP's.

Before I got my email, I read of many having problems actually getting their license / getting a version 9 and being told by vmware to pay >$100 if they want to upgrade, so thought this was worthy of a post.
Apologies if judged not to be, can just let this thread die...

I think it is cool. Though, having said that, it sure is an expensive route to take just to get a freebie! Thank you for posting that. I was unaware and had not checked out the benefits page.

Heh.
It's just a nice perk, shouldn't be the main reason for going for the VCP cert.

Hopefully the VCP cert will prove to be a lot more valuable than the workstation 10 license!

Crap! The free license was the only reason why I decided to take the Stanly CC VMware class...j/k. I, too, hope the monetary value of the cert outstrips the $249 price tag for Workstation. If not, I'm going to have a tough time explaining it to my wife!
