All, I just went out and was looking for a different time for my exam and found this message, "
Note: All VMware Certification exams require prior VMware authorization. If you would like to reschedule an exam that was originally scheduled before July 19, 2013, you will need to cancel your appointment, and gain VMware authorization at vmware.com/certification before you are able to reschedule your exam appointment with Pearson VUE.
(If you used an exam voucher when scheduling your original exam, you will be able reuse it when rescheduling.)"
Why did the policy change? It looks like you have to enter your candidate ID when registering for the exam now. I am OK with the change, just do not understand the reasoning behind changing it.
