I have a few VMs that I am moving between two hosts every so often. Every single time VMware will prompt me whether I moved or whether I copied it (not affecting or affecting the MAC address respectively).
Since ACE was retired with VMware Workstation 8, how can I configure my VMs such that VMware will not prompt and assume either of the offered answers?
Affected VMware versions: VMware 9 and 8.

The VMware KB article Changing or keeping a UUID for a moved virtual machine explains the concept of unique identifier (UUID) and offers a solution that involves editing the VM configuration file (.vmx) and adding the line :
uuid.action = "keep" This should always keep the existing unique identifier (UUID).
It is not specified starting from which version was this added to all VMware products.
