Had issue after running upgrade where the "VMware Authorization Service" would not start with error 6000009.
Found other post that helped resolve the issue:
1) Open administrative command prompt
2) dir /a /s vmx86.sys
found new version in: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMware\Drivers\vmx86\Win7\vmx86.sys - 2018-01-08
found ols version in: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\vmx86.sys - 2017-06-19
3) Rename old version: move C:\Windows\System32\drivers\vmx86.sys C:\Windows\System32\drivers\vmx86.sys.OLD
4) Copy new version: copy "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMware\Drivers\vmx86\Win7\vmx86.sys" C:\Windows\System32\drivers\vmx86.sys
5) Check vmx86 service: sc query vmx86
STATE : 4 RUNNING
6) Stop it: sc stop vmx86
7) Check it: sc query vmx86
STATE : 1 STOPPED
😎 Start it: sc stop vmx86
9) Now start the "VMware Authorization Service" and "VMware Workstation Server" services
10) ???
11) Profit?
