The vmware-vmx doesn't return same result as expected in code and the vagrant utility doesn't recognize professional license.

/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx --query-license LicenseEdition

return ws.fusion.pro.vl

Solution to fix it

$GO_SRC/github.com/hashicorp/vagrant-vmware-desktop/go_src/vagrant-vmware-utility/driver/core.go

func (v *VmwareInfo) IsProfessional() bool {
	// First, lets check if the license has been explicitly
	// set to standard or professional
	if v.License == "professional" {
		return true
	}
	if v.License == "standard" {
		return false
	}
	
	return strings.Contains(v.License, "pro")
}

Hi there,

I'm trying to reproduce the behavior you are encountering but have so far been unsuccessful. The license string you have provided should be properly matched as a professional license. Would you please provide the debug output from the utility startup. If you are running it directly, you can use the -debug flag. Otherwise you can update the configuration file and set the level to debug.

Thanks!
