Your log shows you're running Ventura on a MacBook Pro Early 2013. That Mac is not supported by Apple to run Ventura , so you're probably using OCLP to get it to run. Sorry, but neither Apple nor VMware will support you running on that combination of hardware and macOS. 

[...]

Or run a supported macOS version on that hardware (Big Sur), and a Fusion version that is supported on it (12.1.2).

Minor correction: the Early 2013 MacBook Pro is officially supported up to macOS Catalina, so it already past the point of getting security updates without using OCLP to run a later macOS.

If @jegodnit needs to run VMware Fusion on a Mac, and need Intel-based guest operating systems, I'd recommend replacing that Early 2013 MacBook Pro with a later Intel model which is still supported.

Late 2013 and Early 2014 MacBook Pros were officially supported up to Big Sur; Early/Mid 2015 and 2016 MacBook Pros were officially supported up to Monterey, a 2017 MacBook Pro is the oldest officially supported by Ventura.

Apple will be announcing macOS 14 and its list of supported models at WWDC on the morning of Monday 5 June (US time). It is likely that it will drop support for 2017 models, possibly also some 2018 models. If you can't wait until the announcement, getting a 2019 or 2020 model would be a safer bet for an extra year or two of official support.

Keep in mind that the end of all macOS support for Intel Macs is approaching - I'm estimating three more macOS versions plus two years of security updates for the final Intel Mac models. We may have a clearer picture after the WWDC keynote.
