Just wasted 2 hours trying to register with Broadcom.
Going round in circles.

downloading vmware workstation 17 now.

could not login with proton account.
logged in with gmail.

Worst website I have been to in 20 years.   

Don't goto Broadcom if you want to keep your sanity.

Hi  @Mohammad 



Too big to transfer. Follow the steps below.

VMware Workstation Pro for Windows
VMware-workstation-full-17.5.2-23775571.exe
File size is 618.26 MB

You need to wait, the site is slow, looks like its doing nothing. 
Especially when i clicked on download file,   refreshed,  took a couple of minutes to open into IDM download manager.

just registering and in your portal does not show where to find files.



Cheers


The steps:-

Step 1
register and logged in.


Step 2
open the link to the wmware options

I have not used VMware for many years. Feedback is not good for business use.
Just installed it. Will build a few windows clients in the next few days.
