Hi can anyone help me I'm getting a posting everytime i try to start my workstation up it reads "THE VMWARE AUTHORIZATION SERVICE IS NOT RUNNING". What are the necessary steps to turning it off.
Probably your host computer is not running the system service "VMware Authorization Service" (vmware-authd.exe process).
You can check this in MyComputer -> Manage -> Services.
However this process should be started automatically. If not, try start it manually, event. restart your host computer.
If there are still errors (check system logs), there may be a problem with the installation of your Workstation.
You can try to reinstall it.
Before reinstalling workstation you could try reinstalling the service with;
"vnetlib -- uninstall authd"
"vnetlib -- install authd"
Execute it in VMware Workstation directory.
