Mac OS X UnlockerforVMware V2.0
Vmware Unlocker Tool
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
-----------
Insanely Mac Vmware Unlocker For Os Xbox One
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.
History
-------
12/12/141.0.0-First release
(c)2011-2014DaveParsons
In this article, we will share VMware Unlocker software which enables you to create an macOS virtual machine on VM Workstation and vSphere ESXi.
Download VMware Unlocker 3.0.2/2.1.1
You can install and use macOS operating systems on your physical computer using virtualization programs such as VMware or Oracle VM VirtualBox.
VMware Workstation is a virtualization program and you can run multiple virtual operating systems on it. When creating a new virtual machine with Workstation 14 or 15, you will often not see an option for Apple operating systems. Because, there is no Mac OS X support for VMware Workstation, but you can use an Apple virtual machine using this tool.
If you want to install and run macOS Sierra on VMware Workstation, you need Patch software. With this macOS tool, you can build an Apple operating system on the virtual machine.
This program is not only for VMware Workstation and Player but also for vSphere ESXi.
Download macOS Unlocker
The latest version of the VMware Mac OS Unlocker is 3.0.2. This version 3.x was developed for VMware Workstation 11-15 and Player 7-15. You can use this version on VM Workstation virtualization software installed on a Windows or Linux operating system, or vSphere Hypervisor ESXi server.
Insanelymac Vmware Unlocker For Os X 7
You can download the Unlocker software via Google Drive after clicking the buttons below to download the current version.
Get Unlocker 3.02
Get Unlocker 2.1.1
If you have problems creating and installing a macOS virtual machine on your ESXi (vSphere) server with the new version, you can download and try the old version of the tool. This version 2.1.1 was tested on many platforms and worked smoothly!
How to Install and Use VMware Unlocker
After downloading the required version from the above buttons to your computer, you must first close the VM Workstation software to install and use VMware Unlocker on Windows 10. Additionally, you can check that the VM Workstation program is not running in the background on your system by using the Task Manager.
After closing the program, extract the .rar file that you have downloaded to your computer and then click the Right Key/Run as Administrator option on the win-install.cmd file in the folder to start its installation on Windows 10.
Immediately after running the Win-install.cmd, the CMD command prompt will open and the unlock program will be installed.
After the installation is complete, run the VMware Workstation / Player software and continue by clicking the Create a new virtual machine option to check the Mac OS X option.
When you proceed to the Select a guest OS window, you can see ” Apple Mac OS X “ option as in the image below.
NOTE 1: Don’t forget to add a minimum of 4 GB RAM and 2 processors when creating a Mac OS High Sierra / Mojave virtual machine! We also recommend that you enable the virtualization feature from virtual machine settings.
How to Install VMware Unlocker on Linux
You can also create and use a macOS virtual machine on the VM Workstation virtualization program on Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian. To use this tool in Linux, install the lnx-install.sh file in the folder.
However, as mentioned above, you should either shut down VM Workstation on Linux or stop its services. To do this in Linux, you can execute the following commands in Terminal.
Open Terminal and access root in your Linux OS. In the terminal, edit the permissions of the file with chmod + x lnx-install.sh command, and then start the installation using sudo ./lnx-install.sh command.
