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

the exact message:

$ vagrant status

to run. The license provided is invalid. Please make sure you

this message in error, please contact support.
Vagrant failed to initialize at a very early stage:

The plugins failed to load properly. The error message given is
