The following two steps can be used to fix this and let you run the later virtual machine in the old server.

Open the [VirtualMachine].vmx and change VirtualHw.version to “4″.
Open the [VirtualMachine].vmdk and change ddb.virtualHWVersion to “4″.

Now you will be able to start up the virtual machine as if it were created using the 1.0.x version.
