How i can run MAX virtual guest OS on Vmware Workstation

Hello

I need run 100 vmware guest OS

but can start only 64 - and after, vmware workstation cant run more.

i tried on windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 - host OS

Vmware 9 and 10 with XP as guest OS

who know? may be on any Linux as host OS VMware Workstation, can run more than 64 guest OS.

Or like how run 2 independend Vmware workstation on 1 host OS.

P.S. all resources for that i have - 12 core CPU 128GB RAM

P.S.S.

some screens

1. screen when try run from GUI vmware workstation

2. screen when try run from vmrun.exe from console

P.S.S.S. problem not with hardware resorces

on 6 core + 64GB = run 64VMs too - and cant run more

so on 12 core + 128Gb RAM = resources i have MANY FREE

I do not believe you will be able to nest workstation inside a workstaion VM - and even if you can you will not be able to access the graphics card - your only solution is ESXi -
