If you have access to an OS X machine, Redeem your purchase and download OS X from the Mac App Store under Purchases or use Updates to get OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), 10.10 (Yosemite) or 10.11 (El Capitan) once downloaded on your OS X machine extract the InstallESD.dmg from your App Store download of 'Install OS X Lion' or 'Install OS X Mountain Lion' in the Applications folder, right click the icon and select 'Show Package Contents' open folder 'SharedSupport' and copy the InstallESD.dmg to your desktop. Install the 'Unlocker' following the included readme.txt, version 1.3.x for Workstation 10, Player 6 or ESXi 5 and 'Unlocker' version 2.0.x for Workstation 11, Player 7, Workstation Pro/Player 12 and ESXi 6 created by Donk based on work by Donk, Zenith432 and Sam B, see the links below, to enable support for OS X. It is important for the method detailed below to work, you must be running a relatively recent Intel processor with VT-x (Hardware Virtualisation) support which has been enabled in BIOS. If you have access to an existing OS X machine physical or virtual you can download OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), 10.10 (Yosemite) or 10.11 (El Capitan) for free.

I originally wrote this 'How To' in the following topic 'Workstation 8/9, Player 4/5 and Fusion 4/5 Mac OS X Unlocker' started by Donk, see link below, since there are now some 500+ replies in the topic, I thought it was time to extract the post and start a new topic.Īlthough a lot of alternative methods are available, the following 'How To' based on the work by Donk, Zenith432 and others on 'InsanelyMac' is a proven method for installing a 'Vanilla / Retail' version of OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), 10.8 (Mountain Lion), 10.9 (Mavericks), 10.10 (Yosemite) and 10.11 (El Capitan) under VMware Workstation 10/11, Player 6/7, Workstation Pro/Player 12 and ESXi 5/6, using physical media (Snow Leopard) or an email with a content code for the Mac App Store (Lion and Mountain Lion) purchased from the Apple Store or media created from the App Store download.
