I've tried to google the issue but the only relevant thing found was this :. After the reboot everything worked immediately. But even if this is true, I just can not get rid of my VPN client for example. So, I still have no idea what steps I should take to solve the issue. I'll be very much obliged for any hint how to fix this problem.
Clicking the Allow button resolved the issue for me. It looks like simply unloading a kernel extension which is using one of the major character devices is enough to get around the problem. In case anyone is running into this with VMware Fusion 6 on Yosemite I had the same issue and it seems OS X only has a limited amount of major device numbers, which are used by many different device drivers. VMware Fusion tries to load its device drivers on app startup, so if every major device number is already occupied, the drivers won't start.
Edit: I had the same issue again after using a VeraCrypt mounted image. I was running into a similar problem and upgrading from Fusion 5 to Fusion 6. I had this same problem running Mac OS Mojave If that's the case, just allow it and your VM's will work just fine. Thanks to everyone above for contributing to the conversation and for the solutions being suggested above.
On Mac OS Mojave So after some searching, this link helped me with disabling and re-enabling kernel extension of VMware Fusion:. Note: if your Mac's system integrity protection SIP is disabled, re-enable it. I found a reboot fixed things, no need to sudo-run commands I'm not fully familiar with.
Note that I had been running VBox earlier, and assumed that it had tied up some devices that were getting in Fusion's way. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

After some digging, I've learned that there are only so many available character devices, and that other software I have has consumed them. Instructions online suggest to run a script to uninstall it, however that script did not exist on my laptop. I wanted to determine if there is anything else I need to do, will this driver attempt to reload during boot? I had the same problem. After a lot of trial and error, and helpful support from VMware I got it to work by.
For now - I do not care. It works, and I can run my vms again. Learn more about Teams. Asked 6 years, 1 month ago. Modified 4 years, 1 month ago. Viewed 12k times. Part of Intel Collective. I unloaded the driver with the command: sudo kextunload -b com.
