Hello!, I'm getting problems downloading VMWARE Workstation versions which are apparently now free to all users.
VMware Workstation Pro 15.5.7 requires a manual download of VMware-workstation-full-15.5.7-17171714.exe. Please see https://patchmypc.com/licensed-download for the resolution.

Is that fixable?

Hey Rob,
Since there is no public download available for VMware Workstation, you'll need to download the binaries and paste them into the local content repository.
Please follow these steps:
- Visit the URL (https://patchmypc.com/local-content-repository-for-licensed-applications-that-require-manual-download), search for VMware Workstation Pro 15, and click on the "Download page."
- Sign in to the Broadcom download portal and download the required binaries.
- Move the binaries to the local content repository. You can find the location under the Publisher's advanced tab.
If you notice any issues during the process, please let us know.
Hi,
Unfortunately we tried the download to repository route and were getting a message saying we are 'Not Entitled'. See attached. I'm guessing we'll need to take this up with Broadcom as it sees like a problem their end.
Thanks for getting back.
