MacOS Unlocker V3.0 for VMware Workstation +-+ IMPORTANT: Always uninstall the previous version of the Unlocker before using a new version. Failure to do this could render VMware unusable. +-+ 1. Introduction - Unlocker 3 is designed for VMware Workstation 11-15 and Player 7-15.
If you are using an earlier product please continue using Unlocker 1. Version 3 has been tested against:. Workstation 11/12/14/15 on Windows and Linux.
Workstation Player 7/12/14/15 on Windows and Linux The patch code carries out the following modifications dependent on the product being patched:. Fix vmware-vmx and derivatives to allow macOS to boot. Fix vmwarebase.dll or.so to allow Apple to be selected during VM creation. Download a copy of the latest VMware Tools for macOS Note that not all products recognise the darwin.iso via install tools menu item. You will have to manually mount the darwin.iso for example on Workstation 11 and Player 7. In all cases make sure VMware is not running, and any background guests have been shutdown. The code is written in Python.
These 10 Simple Steps to Speed up Mac OS X Performance in VMware. These steps also used for VMware Player. If you don’t know about VMware tweaks and it’s importance, this post will show you the importance of VMware tweaks.
Prerequisites - The code requires Python 2.7 to work. Most Linux distros ship with a compatible Python interpreter and should work without requiring any additional software.
Windows Unlocker has a packaged version of the Python script using PyInstaller, and so does not require Python to be installed. Limitations - If you are using VMware Player or Workstation on Windows you may get a core dump. Latest Linux products are OK and do not show this problem. +-+ IMPORTANT: If you create a new VM VMware may stop and create a core dump. There are two options to work around this issue: 1.
Change the VM to be HW 10 - this does not affect performance. 2. Edit the VMX file and add: smc.version = '0' +-+ 4. Windows - On Windows you will need to either run cmd.exe as Administrator or using Explorer right click on the command file and select 'Run as administrator'. Win-install.cmd - patches VMware win-uninstall.cmd - restores VMware win-update-tools.cmd - retrieves latest macOS guest tools 5.
Linux - On Linux you will need to be either root or use sudo to run the scripts. You may need to ensure the Linux scripts have execute permissions by running chmod +x against the 2 files. Lnx-install.sh - patches VMware lnx-uninstall.sh - restores VMware lnx-update-tools.sh - retrieves latest macOS guest tools 6. Thanks - Thanks to Zenith432 for originally building the C unlocker and Mac Son of Knife (MSoK) for all the testing and support. Thanks also to Sam B for finding the solution for ESXi 6 and helping me with debugging expertise.
Sam also wrote the code for patching ESXi ELF files and modified the unlocker code to run on Python 3 in the ESXi 6.5 environment. History - 27/09/18 3.0.0 - First release 02/10/18 3.0.1 - Fixed gettools.py to work with Python 3 and correctly download darwinPre15.iso 10/10/18 3.0.2 - Fixed false positives from anti-virus software with Windows executables - Allow Python 2 and 3 to run the Python code from Bash scripts (c) 2011-2018 Dave Parsons.
System Requirements Systems using Processors (CPUs) launched in 2011 or later are supported except:. Intel Atom processors based on the 2011 “Bonnell” micro-architecture (e.g.

1.3GHz or faster core speed. 2GB RAM minimum/ 4GB RAM or more recommended.
Can VMware Workstation Player be installed on the same machine with other VMware products? VMware Workstation Player is not designed to co-install with other VMware products. If an installation of VMware Workstation Pro or VMware Server is detected on a machine where Workstation Player is being installed, the Workstation Player installation will display an error message and abort.
However, if you purchase and install Workstation Pro, a version of Workstation Player that will work is included with your purchase. What are the minimum PC requirements to install and use VMware Workstation Player? For a typical host system, we recommend that you have a 1 GHz or faster 64-bit processor (2GHz recommended) and 2GB RAM minimum (4GB RAM recommended). You must have enough memory to run the 64-bit host operating system, plus the memory required for each guest operating system and for applications on the host and guest.
See your guest operating system and application documentation for their memory requirements. VMware Player requires approximately 150MB of disk space to install the application. For more details on minimum PC requirements, see the.
