************************* READ HERE: *************************
WINDOWS USERS: Get the tool from the Releases section, you will get a bundled python distribution that avoids the virus warnings and python not found etc.
LINUX USERS: No bundled python for you, but make sure you have python 3.0+ installed. If you have errors like 'Python not supported' but you have python installed, change the lines inside of lnx-install.sh from 'python xxxxxxx.py' to 'python3.7 xxxxxxx.py' (if you have python 3.7 installed, otherwise try python3 or other stuff)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+| IMPORTANT: || || || Always uninstall the previous version of the Unlocker before using a new || version. Failure to do this could render VMware unusable. || |+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- Introduction
Unlocker 3 is designed for VMware Workstation 11-15 and Player 7-15.
If you are using an earlier product please continue using Unlocker 1.
Version 3 has been tested against:
- Workstation 11/12/14/15 on Windows and Linux
- Workstation Player 7/12/14/15 on Windows and Linux
The patch code carries out the following modifications dependent on the productbeing patched:
- Fix vmware-vmx and derivatives to allow macOS to boot
- Fix vmwarebase .dll or .so to allow Apple to be selected during VM creation
- Download a copy of the latest VMware Tools for macOS
Note that not all products recognise the darwin.iso via install tools menu item.You will have to manually mount the darwin.iso for example on Workstation 11 and Player 7.
In all cases make sure VMware is not running, and any background guests havebeen shutdown.
The code is written in Python.
- Prerequisites
The code requires Python 2.7 to work. Most Linux distros ship with a compatiblePython interpreter and should work without requiring any additional software.
Windows Unlocker has a packaged version of the Python script using PyInstaller,and so does not require Python to be installed.
- Limitations
If you are using VMware Player or Workstation on Windows you may get a core dump.
Latest Linux products are OK and do not show this problem.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+| IMPORTANT: || || || If you create a new VM VMware may 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' || |+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- Windows
On Windows you will need to either run cmd.exe as Administrator or usingExplorer right click on the command file and select 'Run as administrator'.
win-install.cmd - patches VMwarewin-uninstall.cmd - restores VMwarewin-update-tools.cmd - retrieves latest macOS guest tools
- Linux
On Linux you will need to be either root or use sudo to run the scripts.
You may need to ensure the Linux scripts have execute permissionsby running chmod +x against the 2 files.

Thanks to Zenith432 for originally building the C++ unlocker and Mac Son of Knife(MSoK) for all the testing and support.
Thanks also to Sam B for finding the solution for ESXi 6 and helping me withdebugging expertise. Sam also wrote the code for patching ESXi ELF files andmodified the unlocker code to run on Python 3 in the ESXi 6.5 environment.

macOS Unlocker V3.0 for VMware ESXi
1. Introduction
---------------
Unlocker 3 for ESXi is designed for VMware ESXi 6.5 and 6.7.
The patch code carries out the following modifications dependent on the product
being patched:
* Fix vmware-vmx to allow macOS to boot
* Fix libvmkctl to allow vSphere to control the guest
The code is written in Python as it makes the Unlocker easier to run and
maintain on ESXi.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| IMPORTANT: |
| |
| |
| Always uninstall the previous version of the Unlocker before using a new |
| version. Failure to do this could render VMware unusable. |

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
2. Installation
---------------
Copy the distribution file to the ESXi host datastore using scp or some other
data transfer system.
Decompress the file from the ESXi console or via SSH:
tar xzvf esxi-unlocker-xxx.tgz
(xxx - will be the version number, for example, 300)
Run the command from the terminal:
./esxi-install.sh
Finally reboot the server.
3. Uninstallation
-----------------
Open the ESXi console or login via SSH and chnage to the folder where the files were extracted.
Run the command from the terminal:
./esxi-uninstall.sh
Finally reboot the server.
4. Notes
--------
A. There is a command added called esxi-smctest.sh which can show if the patch is successful. It must be run from a
terminal or SSH session. The output should be:
/bin/vmx
smcPresent = true
custom.vgz false 38725560 B
B. The unlocker can be temporarily disabled during boot by editing the boot options and adding 'nounlocker'.
