Encrypting virtual machines in VMware Workstation 9.0
Encrypting VM : Select VM from the VMware Workstation main interface. Click "Edit virtual machine settings" and open the Options tab. In the list of available options, you'll see "Access Control" with all options disabled
Click "Encrypt" and enter an encryption password (enter it twice). Depending on the VM size and host machine's processing power, this encryption process may take a long time. Once encryption is done, you'll enter the password again before booting up the virtual machine.
Encryption must be disabled when you want move VM from Workstation to vSphere environment because VMware does not support uploading encrypted VMs to a remote server, so encryption must be removed before that VM moves to vSphere. You'll need to remove encryption to share the VM with other users, since the encryption algorithm incorporates the local computer's information. Multiple computers cannot share access to an encrypted VM.
Removing Encryption: In the VM properties, click "Edit virtual machine settings." and open the Options tab. In the list of available options, you'll see "Access Control". Click Remove
Enter the password and deselect the encryption option to remove encryption from the VM completely.
