If you are a Hackintosh user on desktop virtualization software VMware, then the “VMware unlocker” is a compulsory utility to run Mac OS X lion guests. This unlocker utility replaces few VMware program files to be able to install and run latest 10.8 and 10.7 Lion OS X guests. Here is the download links of working unlocker for VMware Workstation 9, 8 and 7 series versions (tested by me) on Windows 7 32 bit host.
UPDATE – This post has been updated after testing latest unlocker (version 1.1.0) with VMware workstation 9 on 08/11/2012
Earlier Mac OS X versions like Snow leopard 10.6 and leopard 10.5 can run on VMware desktop virtualization products without this patch. But the latest Lion OS X needs this patching.
Sysprobs already published a working method to install and run Lion OS X on VMware workstation based on this unlocker. I have demonstrated and tested on Workstation 7 series in previous post, but once I upgraded to VMware workstation 9 or 8, it stopped working. Obviously, the upgrade process replaced patched files, so no longer I able to run Lion OS X on VMware. Later, I found a similar patch for 9 and 8 series. Using older ulockers to patch recent VMware workstation did not work and I could not start any virtual machines.

Click here or click on 'VMware Unlocker' in Prerequisites to download VMware Unlocker. Once you've downloaded it, unzip to a folder with all of the contents inside of it. Open that extracted folder and find 'Unlocker.exe'. Click 'Yes' if UAC pops up, this will. When you installed the macOS Unlocker, of course, the options Apple Mac OS X will appear in the list. Again if the option doesn’t appear. Change the VMware version or the version of the macOS Unlocker. However, select the guest operating system “Apple Mac OS X” and the version “10.14” then click next. VMware 9 Unlocker - Hardware Virtualization Bypasser DOWNLOAD (Mirror #1).

Vmware Unlocker Mac Os 10 13

UPDATE 05/2017: when updating VMware workstation, the suspended/paused OSX VM seems to work fine but won’t boot up again (e.g. after updating to the latest OSX version which requires a reboot). I had to reinstall the unlocker and it’s working again … i’m still using unlocker v2.0.8 but on git there is a 2.0.9: https://github.com/DrDonk/unlocker OSX 10.12.4 is working, too.

Install VMware Player or VMware Workstation from http://www.vmware.com/products/workstation-for-linux.html

In order to see “Apple OSX” you need to install VMware Unlocker:

VMware Player is free for personal non-commercial use. Please consider licensing VMware player and/or workstation if you are using this for commercial / business purposes. Thank You!

IMPORTANT: (Note: in VMWare 12.5 i didnt have to do this anymore:)
If you create a new VM using version 11 or 12 hardware VMware will stop and create a core dump.There are two options to work around this issue:
1. Change the VM to be HW 10 – this does not affect performance.
2. Edit the VMX file and add:
smc.version = “0” |

Hint: the button “VM -> Install VMware tools” doesn’t work, just manually mount the “darwin.iso” file that has been downloaded by the unlocker and install the tools. Worked for me with OSX 10.12.2 also!
