Not just VMWare but Oracle VirtualBox too.
This hurts my business. Also prevents linux, ubuntu and others, I think.

“In a thread on Microsoft’s site, one affected user complained that upgrading their 100 VMware Workstation licences would cost €11,500.”
Makes one wonder if MS has any vested interest in this end result? This kind of reminds me of the McCafee fiasco when they were installing their own viruses and then charging to fix them.
Could it be rigged rather than an accident? I would not put this past MS to do on purpose.

This is not a sound strategy, since it is a system component and tinkering with it could have unpredictable affects on other applications or system stability. In addition, relaxing permissions on sysmain.sdb could make it a security vulnerability. Classic case of "Don't do as we do - do as we say" if I ever saw one...

MS has warned against keeping old VMs. At my Job I held on as long as allowed.

To be fair VMWare workstation pro is up to version 15.5.
