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.
