Authorization Service is not running.

[Grycko]

I have problem: I try to power on my virtual machine and get the error\[The VMware Authorization Service is not running.] and after that my virtual machine does not start i try to make a new virtual machine but the problem remain same . Then I try to start Authorization Service manually, but it's didn't work! Next error occured: Windows could not start the VMware Authorization Service on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 6000002.

Could anybody help me?

What version of Windows are you running?

[admin · Accepted solution]

Some questions:

What version and build number of Workstation are you running?

What is the host OS and SP level?

Did you install Workstation as a local admin OR a domain admin OR other?

Is this a clean installation or an upgraded installation?

Did this environment ever work?

What have you changed on the host since this last worked properly? ( if applicable )

And a possible solution:
