I have recently updated VMware and the VMware player is asking for a license key. To my understanding this should only happen in the pro version not the player vision. I have installed the VMware-workstation15 from the AUR but when launching VMplayer is seems to act the same as if it was VMware pro('vmware' in the cli).

Did you check the AUR comments? It seems there is a workaround (I don't use vmware, I have no idea)

Can VMware Workstation Player be installed on the same machine with other VMware products?
No. VMware Workstation Player is not designed to co-install with other VMware products. If an installation of VMware Workstation Pro or VMware Server is detected on a machine where Workstation Player is being installed, the Workstation Player installation will display an error message and abort. However, if you purchase and install Workstation Pro, a version of Workstation Player that will work is included with your purchase.
The workstation15 package downloads VMware-Workstation-Full-xxx.x86_64.bundle .
That looks very much like workstation pro .
What was the version of your vmware player before the update ?
https://www.vmware.com/products/player/ … d-upgrades may be helpful.
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

If I'm not mistaken it would have been vmware-workstation15.1.0

Thanks for that, I honestly did notice before that someone has posted about it. Seems like the workaround is to downgrade to 15.1.0
Only problem is that when I try to downgrade to 15.1.0 it gives me an error that it is not found. I don't know if I still have that version locally because I have removed the package and reinstalled it thinking that may fix the issue.
