Accidentely I unplugged the Windows Server 2008R2 virtual machine without shutting it down properly. (it was my 7 months old baby actually :). Then I tried to run my virtual machine using the Vmware Player, this error message appeared on the screen.
"Error while powering on: the Vmware Authorisation Service is not running"
First I checked whether that particular service is running, and that looked perfectly alright. Still not convinced with that and then clicked on restart the service option which made my VM to wake up!!!
1. Click Start and then type Run
2. Type services.msc and click ok
3. locate the Vmware Authorisation service from the list.
4. Click start/Restart button to start the service.
