I tried registering for a new account as suggested - no difference. It still does not work.
With all due respect, why is VMware not interested in resolving the problem? You are asking us to jump through all sorts of hoops trying to get this to work - different computers, different ISP's, no registering with different accounts. None of the suggestions have working and quite frankly, this is eroding my confidence in VMware. Such solid products for so long, but can't or aren't interested in fixing an issue with your web site affecting dozens of your customers. (In actuality, I'd guess there are probably hundreds of users having this problem -- we're just the couple dozen making enough extra effort to login to the community to report the issues.)
Having us running in circles and seeming unwilling to escalate the issue to whatever VMware team that runs the web site is very frustrating.

Hi, just tried again and now it works, maybe it just takes a bit of time (it's been about 2 hours) between registering for a product until it can be downloaded?

I reviewed the source and picked out the ISO URL and finally got it downloaded.
1. View source on the page with the download button.
2. Browse the json page it shows in the popup javascript and it will show the direct link to the ISO.
And you have to do all that on the same window you logged in with by pasting the url into the address bar.
Regards,
Shanon

I have also been able to do this.
Well done Shanon and many thanks.
I also contacted VMware support and was asked to try chrome, I did, it did not work.
If we use this software in anger then obviously the installation software, will be backed up, etc.
But. . .
It's kind of hard to start my sales pitch with the following:
"After several weeks spent trying to download the product from the VMware site a community member instructed me on how to hack their javascript library.
I installed it and . . . "
Regards,
David

This worked for me! There is a long link to the Jason file and then inside Jason file is the download link. The download link contains a hash to be unique for each account.

The JS on this download site is broken. You can manually dig throught the javascript and extract a direct download URL or use a script I wrote for this :

Enjoy.

I don't know if this affects anybody else but I've been tearing my hair out and getting frustrated with the same issues described here.
My solution and fix was that I run a Pi-Hole (network ad blocker) on my home network. Bypassing the blocking has allowed me to start downloads.

This was exactly my problem! I've had so little trouble with the pihole I forget it's even there. I never would have thought of it without your comment.

thanks but isnt working for me, if I grab the url from the source, then I get an errors "invalid http response" from chrome, I tried the python script and it spits this out.
I wonder if this is deliberate by VM, and those large corporates with many licenses have a working download page instead.

--edit--
I upgraded python and all is good, thanks.
