Ok, Found the solution and it works for me: 1- Disable the time on the Vmware 2- Go to VM host directory and add below lines to the vmx file, to completely disable the time sync time.synchronize.continue = "FALSE" time.synchronize.restore = "FALSE" time.synchronize.resume.disk = "FALSE" time.synchronize.shrink = "FALSE" time.synchronize.tools.startup = "FALSE" 3- Start the VM from : Power -> Power on to Firmware 4- from BIOS, change date to 01/01/2021 5- Save and Exit from BIOS 6- VM will come up and will not power off anymore, you can set NTP on the PA VM to have the correct time. 7- If you shutdown the VM and want to restart it again, repeat from step 3. Cheers,
