VMware Player is a licensed software product is free from VMware virtualization, a division of EMC Corporation. This product can run virtual machines created user from other VMware products but can not create a virtual machine that baru.namun this limitation removed in version 3.0.0. so it can make your own without having to use VMware Workstation. Tools freely licensed and websites like EasyVMX also present to create a virtual machine, delete, manipulate and convert VMware and floppy disks, make user permissions, run and maintain virtual machines.
VMware Player is part of the distribution of VMware Workstation is intended for users who do not have a license on the VMware Workstation product.
therefore it would not hurt if you want to try the VMware Player software.
