Linux / VMware Player

I've just installed the latest version of the VMware Player in a Debian (Jessie) environment.

When I try to open an existing virtual machine (VMware)  2 errors occur:

(Before posting a question in this forum I looked for solutions using google and found several possible solutions.)

     Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.

     Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded

     Solution: mknod /dev/vmmon c 10 165 > /dev/null 2>&1

     Too many virtual machines are running.

     The maximum number of running virtual machines is 64.

     (No other virtual machines are running ....)

Thank you in advance for any advice or suggestions.

You should disable "Boot Security" option in your computer's BIOS.

Like this, the "vmmon" will be created.
