Hello,

I have a VMware workstation installed on Windows 10 whose license works well.
I’m trying to access the binary files through WSL2 (Ubuntu 20.4).

So, I created symbolic links to those VMware executable files (e.g. “/mnt/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/VMware/VMware\ Workstation/vmware.exe”).
The mounted files work, but getting this error that “VMware Workstation does not appear to be licensed. Please license it.”

I’m wondering if there’s a way that I can use those licensed executables on the Windows host from WSL.

If not, shall I request a separate VMware software with a license to install on WSL Ubuntu?

Thanks,

Ali
