Broadcom (owner of VMware products) made VMware Workstation Pro free to use for personal use. It used to be the more practical, feature-filled version that costed several hundred US-Dollars and was too expensive to use for scambaiting purposes unless you got some keys somewhere 
Now that it’s free there is no reason to use the less practical VMware Player version anymore and instead, you can enjoy snapshots and all the other functionality which is really useful for scambaiting.
If you are new to this and want to use my scambaiting virtual machine or have used VMware Player before and would like to get the VMware Workstation Pro for free, follow this instruction:
- Create a Broadcom account at https://profile.broadcom.com/web/registration
- Login into your account and go to the following link and click on the “VMware Workstation Pro 17.0 for Personal Use (Windows)” Option. Select the newest release.
https://support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/productdownloads?subfamily=VMware+Workstation+Pro
- Tick that box in the upper right corner and click on that cloud download button. It may prompt you to do some “screening”, just fill it out with some random data and proceed. Then you should come back to the same page and the download button should be available like this:
- Download and install VMware Workstation Pro 17
- Once downloaded, start the software. This screen should show up. Select “Personal Use”:
