    ‌read license agreement... I suggest to be a VMware partner service provider... the use of workstation is limited to euc... vsphere and vcloud director are the products that can fit to your needs.

    Hi,

    You can use VMware Workstation for internal use only, so for your own company and that can be commercial use.

    However, as soon as you rent out the virtual machines for a service then you need a special license for service providers.

    See the following document for more info:

    PS: VMware Workstation is not on the list for this type of service.
