If you are a user who loves using a desktop visualization software, then you should have a VMware unlocker along with a ‘VMware workstation’. So, use a VMware workstation unlocker to set up machines virtually on another system. The unlocker utility enables you to run Mac OS X 10.10 and higher on Windows 7 and higher versions of the OS.

Unlocker is a small handy software, which designed on CMD command prompt that allows you to install the Mac operating system. Such as macOS Mojave, macOS Sierra, macOS High Sierra, macOS X, macOS X El Capitan. Therefore, this small software and light software is needed for VMware Workstation in Windows. You need the VMware Unlocker tool. OS X support is built in to every VMware hypervisor product, but it's coded to prevent exposing it unless you're running on Apple hardware. The unlocker program hacks the VMware binary to open up the OS X guest features.
Steps to Unlock VMware Workstation 11 in Windows 7, 8.1 & 10
Step 1: Once you are sure that the VMWare is installed on the system, the ‘Virtual Machine’ window would help you select the necessary options. Ensure that you have selected the options shown below.

Step 3: Close all virtual machines along with the VMware workstation program. Right click ‘win-install.cmd’ and select ‘Run as administrator’ from the drop down list.
Step 4: Wait for some time, the script runs on the terminator window. Finally, the script would start the VMware services.
Step 5: After patching VMware workstation 11, you have to select options for Mac OS X guest support.
Step 6: Select the option ‘Apple MAC OS X’ which is among the checkboxes of the ‘Guest Operating System’. From the ‘Version’ section select the desired version of Mac from the drop down list.
You are now done with the process. You have not only unlocked but also patched the virtual machine you desire to run on the VMware workstation. You would see OS X Yosemite (also known as Mac OS X 10.10.1) running on Windows 8.1. The task is possible only with VMware workstation 11.

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.
