    How to download VMware Workstation Pro, the latest version for Windows? (17.6.1 or something since a couple of days). I know, register to Broadcom Support and click the Download document - it takes me to their main page. To get into the Download Page - where is it? I have the key and bought several licenses, which are not in the Profile, but that is not the problem in hand.

    I gather somebody has cracked this up.

    The generic answer to this question is this:

    So I tried the steps to get vmware workstation for personal use: 

    • You can register with personal email for this it seems. I used @outlook.com
    • Go to their support site Home - Support Portal - Broadcom support portal and click Register in the upper right corner
    • Enter your email address and the CAPTCHA-code and continue
    • You receive an email. Enter the code and continue. Choose a password. At the profile page summary, click "I',m done"
    • You should be bounced back to the support page but you are not signed in. 
    • In the upper right corner, click Login and use your email address and password. 
    • In the upper left corner, on the gray line below the header, click "Software" (next to Hardware), then VMware cloud foundation and then on the white flyout menu, click "My downloads" (upper right corner)
    • On the downloads page, search for workstation in the search box upper right. Then go to "vmware workstation pro"
    • In the results list, click on vmware workstation pro 17 for personal use and then the desired version
    • In the left corner above the table, click on "I agree to the terms and conditions". This is where you will be prompted to "verify" your details. You need to be careful to enter correct details about address, country etc. Nonsense here can cause your verification to fail and you'll not be able to proceed. 
    • Once verified, click on the cloud icon after the vmware workstation download to get the installer file.

    Hi,

    new portal is a joke. I don't have any "site id", so I can't download and when trying to open a "new case" for this, site just tries to "authenticating the user", but never finish. Workstation Pro
