I don't know where to look and i think i've exhausted all other options...

  • i tried to the chatbot contact thing, but i dont have a SiteID
    • when i try to go to the page that supposedly gave you a SiteID, it doesnt work (since it's been depricated, now you need an email which i never recieved)
  •  opening a case gives me an error
  • the only other question form i found was for an entierely different broadcom related thing regarding education (???)

Whenever i go to the free downloads page, and try to navigate to the download link for VMWare Workstation Pro, it says that it "needs" screening, various other UI elements are also unnavailable for whatever reason.

Please help

I assume that you signed up for a basic Broadcom account per instructions in https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/368667/download-and-license-vmware-desktop-hype.html and you accurately answered the questions  

Basic accounts can’t open tickets or chats with support. If you’re having issues with screening, place a phone call to Broadcom Support, ask for Customer Care and indicate you’re having a web site access issue. Don’t try to open a technical support case.

 That’s the best (and maybe only) way to get over the screening issue.
