Dec 15, 2013 hi please add official support for using mac os x in VMware workstation please because some people have created an unlocker for VMware so we can run mac os x on windows based computer. So please add official support mac os x please. Here is a link on about the unlocker Moderator note: Removed inappropriate link that circumvents Apples EULA. Use this tool to make VMWare Completely Support Mac OS X Mac OS X Unlocker for VMware V2.0 1. Introduction - Unlocker 2 is designed for Workstation 11, Player 7 and Fusion 7. If you are using an earlier product please continue using Unlocker 1 Versi. Download macOS Unlocker for VMware Workstation 11/12/14/15; Mac OS X Yosemite on VMware. Before going to create a VMware virtual machine. Firstly, you need to download the Mac OS X Yosemite DMG file, then after the downloading is done, therefore, you will see that the file is compressed.

Use this tool to make VMWare Completely Support Mac OS X
Mac OS X UnlockerforVMware V2.0
1.Introduction
---------------
Unlocker2is designed forWorkstation11,Player7andFusion7.
If you are using an earlier product please continueusingUnlocker1
Version2 has been tested against:
*Workstation11 on WindowsandLinux
*Player7 on WindowsandLinux
*Fusion7 on MavericksandYosemite
*(Currentlyis does not work on ESXi6.0)
The patch code carries out the following modifications dependent on the product
being patched:
*Fix vmware-vmx and derivatives to allow Mac OS X to boot
*Fix vmwarebase .dll or.so to allow Apple to be selected during VM creation
* A copy of the latest VMwareToolsfor OS X is included
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 WorkstationandPlayer.
The vmwarebase code does not need to be patched on OS X so you will see a
message on those systems telling you that it will not be patched.
In all cases make sure VMwareisnot running,and any background guests have
been shutdown.
The code is now Pythonas it makes the Unlocker easier to run and maintain on ESXi.
There are some challenges to write the code asESXi has a subset of Python2.7 which
constrains some modules that can be used.
2.Prerequisites
----------------
The code requires Python2.7 to work.MostLinux distros and OS X ship with a compatible
Python interpreter and should work without requiring any additional software.
Windows will need a version of Python installed and the code has been tested against:
CPython- https://www.python.org/downloads/
ActiveStatePython- http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads
IronPython- https://ironpython.codeplex.com/releases/view/169382
The python.exe file must be on the executable PATH.If it isnot on PATH please
edit win-install.cmd to point to the installation path.
3.Limitations
--------------
TheUnlocker currently does not work on ESXi6.
TheUnlocker does not remove the check for server versions for OS X Leopardand
SnowLeopard(10.5and10.6).
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| IMPORTANT:|
||
||
|If you create a new VM using version 11 hardware VMware will 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|
||
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Work continues to find solutions to the limitations.
4.Windows
----------
OnWindows you will need to either run cmd.exe asAdministratororusing
Explorer right click on the command file andselect'Run as administrator'.
win-install.cmd - patches VMware
win-uninstall.cmd - restores VMware
5.Linux
---------
OnLinux you will need to be either root oruse 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
6.Mac OS X
-----------
OnMac OS X you will need to be either root oruse sudo to run the scripts.
Thisis really only needed if you want to use client versions of Mac OS X.
You may need to ensure the OS X scripts have execute permissions
by running chmod +x against the 2 files.
osx-install.sh - patches VMware
osx-uninstall.sh - restores VMware
Thanks to Zenith432for originally building the C++ unlocker andMacSon of Knifefor all
the testing and support.

File Information
Mac OS X Unlocker for VMware
1. Introduction
---------------
The package is a combination of the Unlocker code written by Zenith432 plus some
scripts written by myself that wrap the actual unlocker code.
Insanelymac Vmware Unlocker For Os X 10
It has been tested against:
* Workstation 8/9/10 on Windows and Linux (32 & 64-bit versions)
* Player 4/5/6 on Windows and Linux (32 & 64-bit versions)
Insanelymac Vmware Unlocker For Os X 1 3 0
* Fusion 4/5/6 on Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion
* ESXi 5.0/5.1
The patch code carries out the following modifications dependent on the product
being patched:
* Fix vmware-vmx and derivatives to allow Mac OS X to boot
* Fix vmwarebase .dll or .so to allow Apple to be selected during creation
* Copy darwin.iso if needed to VMware folder
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.
Also Player is missing vmware-vmx-debug and vmware-vmx-stats files and so an
error is shown during patching as the files are not found. This can be safely
ignored.
The vmwarebase code does not need to be patched on ESXi or OS X so you will see a
message on those systems telling you that it will not be patched.
In all cases make sure VMware is not running, and any background guests have
been shutdown.
2. 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'.
install.cmd - patches VMware and copies darwin.iso tools image to VMware
uninstall.cmd - restores VMware and removes darwin.iso tools image from VMware
3. Linux
---------
On Linux you will need to be either root or use sudo to run the scripts.
You may need to ensure the contents of the linux folder have execute permissions
by running chmod +x against the 4 files.
install.sh - patches VMware and copies darwin.iso tools image to VMware
uninstall.sh - restores VMware and removes darwin.iso tools image from VMware
4. Mac OS X
-----------
On Mac OS X you will need to be either root or use sudo to run the scripts.
This is really only needed if you want to use client versions of Mac OS X.
You may need to ensure the contents of the osx folder have execute permissions
Vmware Unlocker 15.5
by running chmod +x against the 3 files.
install.sh - patches VMware
uninstall.sh - restores VMware
5. ESXi
-------
ESXi has to be patched using the scripts, as the unlocker is used to overlay
the ESXi firmware at runtime. You will need to transfer the files to the
Insanely Mac Vmware Unlocker For Os Xbox 360
ESXi host either using vSphere client or SCP.
Once uploaded you will need to either use the ESXi support console or use SSH to
run the commands. Please note that you will need to reboot the host for the
patches to become active.
<<< WARNING: use a datastore volume to run the scripts >>>
You may need to ensure the contents of the esxi folder have execute permissions
by running chmod +x against the 3 files.
install.sh - patches VMware
uninstall.sh - restores VMware
6. Zenith432's Unlocker
-----------------------
In all cases the unlocker can be run without the scripts but you would need to
carry out additional actions which the scripts encapsulate for you especially on
ESXi. If you want to run the unlocker directly the parameters are:
Usage: ./Unlocker.Linux64 [-h] [-u] [target_directory]
-h: print help
-u: remove the patch
target_directory: customize location of vmx executables
On all platforms you must run it with administrator or root privileges.
The source code is provided and Zenith432 makes it freely available for
modification. I have modified the code and it is available as per Zenith432's
original statement.
Thanks to Zenith432 for building the unlocker and Mac Son of Knife for all
the testing and support.
