After my Yosemite upgrade, my VmWare fusion 5 displays the following error "Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory" when I try to run any of the virtual machines.
I ran "ls -ld /dev /dev/vmmon" and it shows that the there is no such file or directory.
Appreciate if someone can assist in this matter.
Thanks & regards,

I was under the impression that this problem is caused by the Yosemite upgrade. A few hours ago, while I was still using Maverick everything was fine. Nonetheless, thanks. I will also post a question at the VmWare community.
Developpers can choose to give you an update for an existing version, or... they use the new OS to let you pay again for an app you already payed for.

Are you sure your problem is solved?
I had Fusion 6; I was told to upgrade to 7 and everything will be magically fixed because Fusion 7 is supposedly written for Yosemite! WRONG! $80 later I'm still having the same exact issue. I now have weird flickering problems with my KUbuntu guest OS. But that isn't the worst thing.
I'm having all sort of networking related problems with VMware Fusion 7 (all updates installed as of today) and Yosemite. For example Yosemite, or VMware somehow interfere with my time machine incremental hourly backups to my 3 terabyte Apple Airport Time Capsule if Fusion is running.
I kill Fusion; reboot the system, and everything seems to work fine.
I also can't access my NAS from OSX (connected to the time capsule via USB) if fusion is running. Notice I'm not saying Can't access it from a guest OS on fusion; It's messing up my HOST networking. So much sandboxing the fusion app.
Are your problems really resolved or did you get suckered like I did? I was really happy for a couple of months until I found out backups were silently messing up in the background.
If you use Time Machine for backups with Fusion 7 and Yosemite watch out. It will suddenly fail.
