How could I find ubuntu's IP installed on vmware, without connecting to it?

I was running an ubuntu 14.04 on a VMware, I changed some of system's files on it, so there is no UI and I can't access to the command line when I run it.
However I was able to connect to it through ssh.

After I upgraded my VMware, all IPs associated to all OS running on this VMware changed, so I don't know the IP of the ubuntu, which I need for accessing to it through ssh.
So far I tested

ipconfig

on cmd, but it just show first three part of IP :
192.168.138.1
I need somehow to find the fourth part.

Is there any way to find out the IP for an vm from vm workstation, or something like that.

You could access your router interface and just check the connected IP addresses. Your virtual machine should be listed there.

If thats not a possibility you can use external Software like nmap (note: only use this in your private network, because its use is controversial in public network) to scan your IP-subnet. It should return all connected devices and open ports (e.g. ssh).
