Mac OS X needs hardware virtualization enabled to be run on vmware

Sometimes this error happens even when you have a processor with real hardware virtualization like Intel VT or AMD-V

Hardware virtualization may be disabled on BIOS (VMWare)

Mac OS X 10.7 64-bit - VMware Workstation
Mac OS X is not supported with software virtualization. To run Mac OS X you need a host on which VMware Workstation supports hardware virtualization.

Just enable it on the BIOS. It may be BIOS disabled and the program SecurAble show it as enabled anyway, so is not trustworthy.

SecurAble only shows the processor specs
SecurAble can tell you if a processor is virtualization capable although that does not mean that it is activated on your computer. It just shown the processor specs doesn't really test it for on your system.
