Still can't download "VMware Workstation Pro for Personal Use (For Windows)"

[MisterEd51]

A couple months ago I got an email from Broadcom and migrated my VMware account to a Broadcom one. I have been trying to download "VMware Workstation Pro for Personal Use (For Windows)" since I read the Blog post back in June. I keep getting the error "Account verification is Pending. Please try after some time." Is there some secret to get this to work?

I have followed several tutorials including the following. Following this I got to the right place but got no further.

BTW, I had to follow a workaround I read on Reddit to download from a direct link to the archive. I would prefer to use the official way if that is possible. I started with "VMware Workstation Pro for Personal Use (For Windows)" v 17.5.2 but am now running v17.6.

Does anyone know the answer to my problem? Does anyone care?

The steps I took in attachments.

In another thread they found they had to use direct links after they had the same problem as I had.

I'm afraid the most effective way, at least for me, has been to actually call them.I think their customer support people feel lonely.
