Discover the true power and flexibility of your desktop or laptop computer with VMware Workstation. Reduce hardware costs by 50% or more by running multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single physical PC. Automate and streamline tasks to save time and improve productivity.

Use Multiple Operating Systems Concurrently on the Same PC

VMware Workstation 6.5 makes it simple to create and run multiple virtual machines on your desktop or laptop computer. You can convert an existing physical PC into a VMware virtual machine, or create a new virtual machine from scratch. Each virtual machine represents a complete PC, including the processor, memory, network connections and peripheral ports.

VMware Workstation lets you use your virtual machines to run Windows, Linux and a host of other operating systems side-by-side on the same computer. You can switch between operating systems instantly with a click of a mouse, share files between virtual machines with drag-and-drop functionality and access all the peripheral devices you rely on.
Take Snapshots & Videos of your Virtual Machines

With Workstation, you can take a ?snapshot? that preserves the state of a virtual machine so you can return to it at any time. Snapshots are useful when you need to revert your virtual machine to a prior, stable system state. Workstation displays thumbnails of all your snapshots on a single screen, making it easy for you to track and revert to a previously saved snapshot.

You can even use Workstation 6.5 to record and play video files that capture all changes to a virtual machine over a period of time. This function is exclusive to VMware Workstation and is incredibly useful for software debugging, Help Desk forensics, sales demonstrations and training.
Run an Entire Multi-tier System on a Single Host Computer

Run multi-tier enterprise applications on a single piece of hardware by managing network-connected virtual machines with the Teams feature of Workstation 6.5. Teams let you create virtual network environments that include client, server and database virtual machines.

With Workstation Teams, you can turn an entire multi-tier environment on and off with a single click of the mouse button. Workstation displays live thumbnails of all connected virtual machines, enabling you to easily identify and switch between the virtual machines associated with a team.
Clone your Virtual Machines to Accelerate Deployment

Installing operating systems and applications can be time consuming. With clones, you can make many copies of a virtual machine from a single installation and configuration process. This capability makes it fast and simple to distribute standardized computing environments to employees and students, or to create a baseline configuration for testing.
Take Your Virtual Machines With You

Workstation 6.5 includes the ability to create and deploy secure virtual machines (called ACEs). Mobility is one of the primary benefits of this feature, as it enables users to securely take their desktops with them on portable media devices such as USB thumb drives.

The following issues are resolved in Workstation 6.5.2:

Security Fixes

* Windows-based host privilege escalation in hcmon.sys
A vulnerability in an ioctl function in hcmon.sys might be used to escalate privileges on a Windows-based host. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2009-1146 to this issue.
New releases of hosted products address a denial-of-service problem described in CVE-2008-3761, which can only be exploited by a privileged Windows account.
* A remote denial-of-service vulnerability in authd for Windows-based hosts
A vulnerability in vmware-authd.exe might cause a denial-of-service condition on Windows hosts. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2009-0177 to this issue.
* A VMCI privilege escalation on Windows-based hosts or guests
Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI) is an infrastructure that provides fast and efficient communication between a virtual machine and the host operating system and between two or more virtual machines on the same host. A vulnerability in vmci.sys might allow privilege escalation on Windows-based machines. This might occur on Windows-based hosts or inside Windows-based guest operating systems. Current versions of ESX Server do not support the VMCI interface and hence they are not affected by this vulnerability. To correct this vulnerability on Windows-based hosts, see Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI) privilege escalation on Windows-based Workstation, Player, ACE and Server (KB 1009826).
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2009-1147 to this issue.
* VMnc codec heap overflow vulnerabilities
The VMnc codec assists in record and replay sessions. Record and replay records the dynamic virtual machine state over a period of time. Two heap overflow vulnerabilities might allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on VMware hosted products. For an attack to be successful, the user must visit a malicious Web page or open a malicious video file.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the names CVE-2009-0909 and CVE-2009-0910 to these issues.

Miscellaneous

* Creating ACE package fails on Windows virtual machines
Creating ACE package fails with the error Tools is out of date, on virtual machines running Windows NT, Windows 9x and Windows Millennium Edition. This issue is resolved in this release.
* Unable to install the latest version of VIX API on Workstation 6.5.0
On Workstation 6.5.0, you cannot install VMware VIX API 1.6.2 due to an issue with the MSI installer for VIX API. This issue is resolved in this release.
* Unable to connect to PPTP VPN using VMware NAT on Microsoft Windows guest operating systems
When you try to open a PPTP VPN connection by using VMware NAT with Microsoft XP Service Pack 2, the following error appears:
Disconnected. 619 connect to the remote machine could not be established.
The issue is found on Cisco 1841 VPN and other PPTP VPN connections, and is applicable to all supported versions of Microsoft Windows host machines. This issue is resolved in this release.
* Workstation displays wrong message after installing the latest version of VMware Tools
After installing the latest version of VMware Tools and rebooting the guest operating system, Workstation displays the following message on the status bar:
Your version of VMware Tools is out of date.
This issue is resolved in this release.
* Novell SLES 11 Beta is displayed as not supported when installing VMware Tools
Virtual machines running the Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Beta operating systems as guests display the following warning message while installing VMware Tools:
WARNING: Cannot determine dependencies of kernel module ‘vmxnet’.
This issue is resolved in this release.
* vsock fails to load using load-vmware on Linux kernel 2.6.26 and later
If CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is defined, vsock does not load when you run load-vmware command as the Module.symvers is missing on Linux kernels 2.6.26 and later. This issue is resolved in this release.
* In Workstation, Google Earth displays extra lines for the country borders
In Workstation, Google Earth displays extra yellow lines to draw the country borders, when the Direct3D Acceleration option is enabled.
This issue is resolved in this release.
* Unable to invoke vi editor from VMware Tools on SLES11 guest operating system
When you try to edit VMware Tools scripts from vmware-toolbox window on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (SLES11), the following error appears in the console:
Cannot edit script because the vi editor was not found
This issue is resolved in this release.
To edit vmware-tools scripts:
1. Launch VMware Tools and select the Scripts tab.
2. Select Custom script option and click Edit.
* Only the first attempt succeeds when mapping original and cloned virtual disk files to drive letters
On Windows hosts, if you make a linked or full clone of a virtual machine and then try to map the virtual disk files of the original virtual machine as well as of the clone to drive letters on the host, only the first mapping succeeds. Because both disks have the same signature, you can map only one of the disks at a time. This issue is resolved in this release.
