Licensed Software: vmware fusion and vmware fusion pro 7

With Vmware Fusion 7 (and possibly earlier, I don't clearly remember), vmware distributes only one binary for both editions (Pro and non-pro). They seem to differentiate between pro/regular versions by the serial and LicenseEdition entry in the file "/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/license-fusion-70-e3-<digits>".

Is there any good way to extract that for the Licensed Software list and keep them separately? I'd like to keep track of our pro and regular licenses separately, but can't quite figure out how to.

Thanks in advance,
Andreas.

    @asf-stripe, this what i use for the SN. There may be something in the app .plist that displays if the license is pro or standard.

    #!/bin/sh

if [ -d "/Library/Application Support/VMware/" ]; then

result=`cat /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/license-fusion* | grep Serial | awk '{print $3}' | sed 's/"//g'`

echo "<result>$result</result>"

else

echo "<result>Not Installed</result>"

fi
