Error While powering on: The VMware Authorization Service is not running.
To fix this error, I go to:
"Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services, clicked on VMware Authorization Service in the list & click the Start link on the left."
But I have to do this every time I want to use the Vitual Machine.
Does anyone know a permanent solution?
Uninstall VMware Workstation. Reboot the host machine and log in as a local administrator (not as a domain administrator). Reinstall VMware Workstation.
go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services double click on VMware Authorization Service a window will open.
It will look something like this

In that window select Automatic from the drop-down menu near to Startup Type:. Then click on the OK button to save the change.
I resolved this by starting VMware Workstation as Administrator.
