I made some virtual machines in VMWare Player. Then, when I installed VMWare Server, it said I had to uninstall VMWare Player. So how can I access those virtual machines from VMWare Server?

You can use Vmware Converter to convert VMs between differnt formats, including Player to Server.

VMware Player can't "make" virtual machines. You need VMware Workstation or VMware Server for that.

Anyway, you can tell VMware Server to import the VM by pointing it to the .vmx file inside the VM directory.

If Player can't make VMs, then what does it make? – Phenom Aug 27 '10 at 6:46
Nothing. It can only "play" pre-made virtual machines. – churnd Aug 27 '10 at 22:10

Need to stay up to date, answered.

Quote from VMware site:

Easiest Way to Play with Virtualization

VMware Player allows anyone to try new operating systems without rebooting. Easy Install makes creating virtual machines with the latest 32-bit and 64-bit Windows and Linux operating systems easier than installing them directly on your PC. Run over 200 supported operating systems including Windows 7, Chrome OS, Ubuntu 10.04, and many other versions of Windows, Linux, and more.
