You do not need to provide information about a business even though it asks for one. I used the URL - note the lack of the -13 at the end of the URL. It just worked for me (in the interest of full disclosure, I had signed up for a Fusion 12 personal use license with my primary VMware account, so I had to create a second account to see if I could "start fresh"). That being said, I may have found a "back door" that might allow you to get it. Like their paid licenses, their pages only directly point to the current version. VMware doesn't make it easy to obtain a personal use license for versions that they've stopped selling. VMware no longer sells licenses for Fusion 12, only 13. If you want a sure-fire, no doubt answer, contact VMware Sales as they are the only definitive source for answers about any licensing purchases. These things may or may not work, but you get our best guesses. It's possible that we don't know for sure and are suggesting things based on our experiences. We're trying to be helpful within the limits of our "non-employee" status with VMware and our knowledge. This is a user-to-user forum, not official VMware support staffed by VMware employees. Please remember that almost all of us here are users, just like you - not VMware employees. I've seen many 'this is what you need to do' posts, including a rather rude one from a moderator, that manage to be both insulting and unsuccessful. But please don't tell me what it is without having tried it yourself before you recommend it. Of course, I admit I could have missed something blindingly obvious! Please tell me - I only want the solution.īest anyone can provide a way that allows one to obtain a new personal licence to any version of Fusion, please describe it. If anyone can provide a way that allows one to obtain a new personal licence to any version of Fusion, please describe it. I discovered that my personal licence for Fusion 12 is valid, so it must have been possible at one time. I have pursued a range of suggestions on forums (I think I recognise some posters here from them) that get me no further - always ending up requiring company details at the point of trying to get a personal licence. I also have a licence for Fusion 11 (user since v 8).Īny way that I come at licensing Fusion 12 or 13 (I can download both) ends up on a page (eg ) where there is a requirement to give company details and either buy a licence or have (I think) a 30 day trial. I also have a MacBook Pro 2019 with a personal copy of Fusion 12. It also integrates with Exposé, the dock, and Boot Camp without any problems.I have spent around a couple of hours trying to install and activate/license Fusion 12 on my partner's MacBook Pro late 2013 (MacOS 11.7.3). VMware Fusion is compatible with the latest Mac systems, with multicore processors and 64-bit support. Furthermore, VMware Fusion can be totally transparent to the user, launching just about any Windows application on a Mac as if it were a native application. The virtualization performed by VMware Fusion is so refined that it even allows us to emulate DirectX 9 with its advanced 3D possibilities. The task of virtualizing basically consists of emulating a computer inside another one, with its own operating system installed. This means we can have any OS ready to go without even rebooting our computer. Windows, Linux Novell or Solaris can be virtualized easily, as VMware Fusion is compatible with more than 140 operating systems. Now, VMware Fusion allows us to virtualize any operating system inside Mac OS X. Run Windows on your Macīefore, to be able to have several operating systems at our disposal, it was necessary to partition our hard drive (a relatively dangerous task) and quarrel with configurations. Having said this, Linux is also a perfect candidate in many other aspects, so if we would rather make the most of each system according to its possibilities, VMware Fusion is a solution that will keep the integrity of our hard drive. Mac OS X is probably the most advanced and usable operating system that currently exists, but Windows is still the one that monopolizes the market and therefore the one that offers the grand majority of applications.
