    Yes, it does. But you will have to convert the Eval version to non-Eval, or download a non-Eval version.

    Anyone that has a problem with the color scheme of the batch file (black on grey = hard to see) then you can open the exe with 7zip, extract the batch file, edit the lines "COLOR 80" to what ever color you want (or delete the lines for classic white on black,) and then place the batch file back into the exe (thats open in 7zip) to update it. Run the exe and BAM! you've got a easier (more likeable) color scheme!

    Just came by looking for the same thing. :)
    I've just started playing with VMWare Workstation and was looking to make or find a "Dell 2.3 Slic rom" I could point to from the VM's .vmx file.
    This seems to be the best way to control which VM's use which activation process. ;)

    Get the vmware-vmx.exe file

    C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware-vmx.exe(x86 system)
    C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\x64\vmware-vmx.exe(x64 system)

    copy it to a folder like 'VMware Bios' on your desktop. Extract the exe to a new folder with 7-zip and you'll find the 6006 file inside

    \VMware Bios\vmware-vmx\.rsrc\BINRES\6006

    You can open the 6006 file with Andy's Tool.

    Is it possible to modify the .vmx file (or some other one) to change the BIOS information for a particular virtual machine? (It looks like I can change the "uuid.bios" and "uuid.location" easily enough, but I don't think this changes the hardware serial number or type of BIOS that is used.) What I'm trying to do is move my Windows XP Mode VM from my Windows host to my Linux host. I am using VMware Workstation 12.0. Any help is appreciated; thanks.

    HI

    Currently the VMWare contains Phoenix Bios that does not support Intel Virtualization even though the host does support Virtualization.I just tried to use this tool to use Toshiba's Bios instead of the one provided by VMWare.

    All I could see that Toshiba's Logo is coming however the Bios is still of Phoenix and I still dont see any option to enable Virtualization in VMWare guest.

    Does this tool only change Banner ?
