VMware Workstation Pro（曾用名VMware Workstation）是VMware公司推出的一款桌面虚拟计算软件，具有Windows、Linux 版本。此软件可以提供虚拟机功能，使计算机可以同时运行多个不同操作系统。2015年，VMware Workstation发表12版，VMware Player转型为VMware Workstation的免费版并改名为VMware Workstation Player，VMware Workstation的付费版定名为VMware Workstation Pro。
该软件可以使多个虚拟机（或称客户机）在同一个宿主机中运行。每个虚拟机相互独立，拥有各自的操作系统；并且各虚拟机以及宿主机相互独立，互不影响，可独立进行操作及运行应用程序。其中一台虚拟机关机或发生故障，不会影响其他的虚拟机及宿主机。
64位虚拟机操作系统只能运行在64位处理器的计算机上，且BIOS要兼容支持x86虚拟化技术。Intel的64位处理器如果不是硬件支持Intel VT技术，就不支持分段长模式。
At power-on, a virtual machine hangs and a .dmp file is created.The VideoReDo application does not display the video properly and parts of the application's screen are scrambled.
Copying and pasting a large file from host to guest may fail.
Memory leak in the HGFS server (for shared folders) causes VMware Tools to crash randomly with the error: Exception 0xc0000005 (access violation) has occurred.
New VMs have the same location UUID and MAC address so that the UUID and MAC address are not unique. This problem occurs with WS 9 and WS 10 VMs but not WS 7 and WS 8 VMs.
On RHEL 6.6, vmmon cannot be loaded due to incompatible kernel symbol versions. With gcc, kernel-headers, kernel-devel installed, vmmon module will be recompiled automatically.
Memory leak by the process vmtoolsd.exe when the guest NIC is disabled causes memory consumption by Workstation processes to increase over time.
When USB devices are autoconnected with a hub to a Renesas host controller, the devices are not redirected to the guest.
WS 11 license is accepted by WS 10.0.5 and future 10.0 updates.
When WS is installed on Linux in a non-default location, the Virtual Network Editor fails to run.
Bug FixesA Linux guest OS booted on EFI firmware sometimes failed to respond to the keyboard and mouse if any mouse motion occurred during a short window of time during OS boot.Outlook 2010 would occasionally crash when running in Unity mode.You could not compact or defragment a persistent disk.The UI sometimes crashed when a user copied and pasted a file between two Windows guests.Rendering corruption in UI elements in Fedora 20 guests with 3D enabled.When creating a new virtual machine with SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) 12, the Easy Install path was not available.
VMware Workstation and Horizon Client TPView.ddl and TPInt.dll incorrectly handle memory allocation. On Workstation, this may allow a guest to execute code or perform a Denial of Service on the Windows OS that runs Workstation.
VMware Workstation 11.1.2 has been updated to OpenSSL library version openssl-1.0.1m.Bug FixesTwo interface items on the Access Control screen used the same hot-key combination.Attempting to suspend a Windows virtual machine with the Sensor Diagnostic Tool running caused the virtual machine to become unresponsive.Using audio conferencing software on a Windows 8 guest operating system caused a severe echo during both video and audio calls.On the Windows 95 guest operating system, the mouse cursor jumped.Symbolic links created within a Windows guest operating system on a Linux host did not list files under subdirectories.Workstation did not display Regions in the VMware vCloud Air Subscription node.Workstation could not automatically detect the Fedora 21 ISO when creating a new Fedora 21 virtual machine.Under specific conditions, when the alipaybsm.exe file was installed on the Workstation host, network service was disrupted.After connecting to vCloud Air from Workstation, no virtual machines were listed in the Workstation virtual machine library.Using Easy Install for the Ubuntu 15.04 guest operating system with kernel 3.19.0-15-generic prevented you from enabling folder sharing.Reverting to a snapshot failed following a specific set of steps.A Windows 10 guest operating system running idly caused Workstation to crash.Using the Easy Install option to install the Ubuntu 14.04 or Ubuntu 15.04 guest operating system failed to install VMware Tools.
VMware Workstation在用于将MAC地址用作唯一识别标记（UID）的环境中时，最好是（通常也是必须）为每个虚拟机手工配置MAC地址，以保证每个MAC地址确实是唯一的。这类环境的一个例子是在网络交换机上启用MAC安全机制（例如端口绑定）的情况，另一个例子是使用Altiris产品的环境（在配置为将MAC地址作为UID时）。该情况下，可以简单地禁用除被桥接的所有网络／适配器，并编辑每个虚拟机的.vmx文件，将其中“ethernet0.address”改为唯一的MAC地址、以及将“ethernet0.addresstype”改为“static”；同时，请确保将“ethernet0.generatedaddress”项整个删除。
