What VM-Ware Fusion version are you using? .. I have VM-Ware Fusion 4 and the same problem.

The documentation under http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/vmware/index.html says: "The VMware provider is currently compatible only with Fusion 5 or Workstation 9." ... so I guess I need to update or use Virtual Box.

VM-Ware Fusion Provider is not free: http://www.vagrantup.com/vmware#buy-now: you need a provider license and the not included license to the VMware software.

I'm trying to raise the same problem with vagrant vm-workstation 10 is discover something, post here.

Same thing here as well. It was hell just getting the plugin installed on OS X, fighting with brew, ruby, rvm and nokigiri. I thought I had succeeded and now this.

To top it off, I see that vagrant has the license in ~/.vagrant.d:

$ ls -l ~/.vagrant.d/license-vagrant-vmware-fusion.lic

-rw-r--r-- 1 myusername staff 547 Aug 22 17:45 /Users/patg/.vagrant.d/license-vagrant-vmware-fusion.lic
