Assuming that I will be asked in the future, when asked, should I download and update Workstation?
What part in particular of my last reply did you not understand!?
No not necessarily. VMware Player is free for non-commercial use and VMware Workstation is a paid for product that costs $249.00 USD.
So if you can do what you need/want with VMware Player then you have your answer otherwise you can always take VMware Workstation for a free 30 day trial.
