I don't know which sofware can do that. But, I know how to modify the VMWare UEFI and change the OEM DMI Strings.

1. Modify UEFI settings: To modify the UEFI settings in VMWare, start by shutting down the virtual machine. Then, right-click the virtual machine in the VMWare Workstation interface and select "Settings". In the "Settings" window, select "VM Options" and then select "Boot Options". Under "Advanced", you should see an option to "Edit UEFI firmware settings". Click this button to open the UEFI settings at territorial io

2. Modify OEM DMI strings: To modify the OEM DMI strings, you will need to edit the virtual machine's .vmx file. This file contains the configuration settings for the virtual machine, including the OEM DMI strings. To edit the file, open the folder where the virtual machine is stored and locate the .vmx file. Open the file in a text editor and look for the following lines:

Code:
reasonml
SMBIOS.reflectHost = "TRUE"
SMBIOS.use12CharSerialNumber = "TRUE"
```
To modify the OEM DMI strings, add the following lines to the end of the file:
````
SMBIOS.product.name = "New Product Name"
SMBIOS.product.version = "New Product Version"
SMBIOS.product.serial = "New Product Serial Number"
SMBIOS.system.manufacturer = "New Manufacturer Name"
SMBIOS.system.product.name = "New System Name"
SMBIOS.system.version = "New System Version"
SMBIOS.system.serial = "New System Serial Number"
````
Replace "New Product Name", "New Product Version", "New Product Serial Number", "New [Manufacturer Name](poe://www.poe.com/_api/key_phrase?phrase=Manufacturer%20Name&prompt=Tell%20me%20more%20about%20Manufacturer%20Name.)", "New System Name", "New [System Version](poe://www.poe.com/_api/key_phrase?phrase=System%20Version&prompt=Tell%20me%20more%20about%20System%20Version.)", and "New System [Serial Number](poe://www.poe.com/_api/key_phrase?phrase=Serial%20Number&prompt=Tell%20me%20more%20about%20Serial%20Number.)" with the desired values.

Save changes and restart: Once you have made the necessary changes to the UEFI and OEM DMI strings, save the .vmx file and start the virtual machine. The changes should take effect immediately.
