If you are a Hackintosh user in desktop visualization software, then VMware Workstation is a must so as to make USB installer, restore images and many more. For doing all these on your VMware Workstation, it is mandatory to have “VMware unlocker” which is a necessary utility to run Mac OS X guests. VMware Workstation is a hypervisor that enables users to set up one or more virtual machines (VMs) on a single machine, and use them simultaneously along with the actual machine. If you’ve never ever tried the Mac OS X Operating system using VMware, then you need to know that we use a patch called VMware Workstation Unlocker that helps to unlock the option to create virtual machines in Mac OS X.
Unlocker utility is capable of replacing few VMware program files which allow you to install VMware and run the latest 11, 10.10, 10.19 and earlier versions of Mac OS X guest virtual machines. Here are the download links of perfectly working unlocker for latest VMware Workstation 11, 10, and other series versions that works on Windows 10, 8.1, 8 (64 bit) and Windows 7 (32 bit) physical computer.
