    Hello

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

    It seems like you’re encountering an issue where the error message ‘Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software License Terms’ appears when trying to install Windows Server 2022 on VMware Workstation. This could be due to a few reasons:

    VMware Workstation Version: If you are using VMware Workstation versions earlier than 16.2.0, you could be affected by this issue. Upgrading to a newer version might help.

    Secure Boot: Another possible solution could be to disable Secure Boot for the affected VMs.

    Virtual Machine with Windows Server 2022 KB5022842 (OS Build 20348.1547) configured with secure boot enabled not booting up (90947) (vmware.com)

    Processor Settings: Adjusting the number of processors and the number of cores per processor to 1 has been reported to solve similar issues.

    Installation Process: There might be a specific step in the installation process causing this issue. You can follow a step-by-step guide on how to install Windows Server 2022 on VMware Workstation.
