Product description
Desktop virtualisation for business use
VMware Workstation Player 16
VMware Workstation Player 16 runs another operating system in an isolated virtual machine on a Windows or Linux PC. It is designed for working with a single virtual machine in a graphical interface, for education and testing, or for command-line operation. It is free for personal non-commercial use; commercial use requires a licence. The licence permits business use and removes the Non-commercial use only banner.
Another OS in a window
Run Windows, Linux or another system in isolation alongside your main system, on a single computer.
Licence for businesses
The commercial licence entitles you to use Player at work or in your business on one computer.
New and ready-made VMs
Create new virtual machines, open existing ones and run ready-made virtual appliances.
vmrun and vctl
Control virtual machines from the command line with vmrun; the vctl tool manages containers and runs Kubernetes clusters.
DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.1
Version 16 brings DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.1 support for 3D graphics in virtual machines.
Works with Hyper-V
Player also runs on PCs with Hyper-V, WSL2 or Device/Credential Guard enabled (Windows 10 version 2004 and later).

Frequently asked questions
Why do I need a licence if Player is free?
Workstation Player is free only for personal, non-commercial use. Using it in a company, an organisation or as part of your job requires a commercial licence under VMware's licence terms.
On how many computers can I use the licence?
One licence covers one computer. Using a single licence on several computers is not permitted, even if Player does not run on them at the same time.
How do I enter the licence key?
Start Workstation Player, choose Player > Help > Enter License Key, paste the 25-character key and click OK. After activation, the Non-commercial use only banner disappears.
Can I run several virtual machines at once?
Workstation Player is designed for working with a single virtual machine in a graphical interface. Multiple VMs in tabs, cloning, virtual network configuration and vSphere connectivity are offered by Workstation Pro.
Does Player 16 run on Windows 7?
No. Workstation 16 requires a 64-bit host operating system and no longer supports Windows 7.
I already have another Player version installed. Is that a problem?
Only one version of Player can be installed on a computer, so uninstall the older version before installing version 16.
