Network configuration when only one mac address is allowed

Hello Forum,

 

To begin with I'm not an IT or VMware expert so sorry if my question is a real easy one or not fully understandable.

My problem is this,
I've a customer which only allow one unique mac address connection for each port in the network switch(if they detect multiple mac addresses the shut down the port which devices are connected to). This cause problems for me because when I connect my PC with virtual machine running the port in the switch shuts down and blocks in/outgoing traffic so I cant communicate with my equipment.
I'm guessing when running a virtual machine I get multiple mac addresses and the switch sees these mac addresses and that's causing this.
Does someone has a solution to this or some tip on where to look for an solution?

I'm using VmWare workstation Pro V15.5

Thanks in  advance.
