Off-topic posts may be locked or removed. Keep post submissions relevant to VMware. Support requests involving Mac OS on unsupported hardware (not a Mac) or software (VMware Workstation or VMware Player) will be removed, and will result in a ban. This includes discussion of 'unlocker' or other methods used to violate the Mac OS EULA by running Mac OS on non-Apple hardware. Expect posts facilitating or promoting piracy to be removed. Think of this year's free upgrade more as a temporary reprieve than a fundamental shift in behavior.Have a technical question? Just make a self post!ĭiscussion of piracy methods will not be permitted. While it's too soon to say for sure what will happen with Fusion 9 or Workstation 13, it won't be surprising if it's back to business as usual with those versions. The focus here is almost exclusively on compatibility, rather than a big revision of VMware's features - there wouldn't be a strong incentive to buy a new copy. The gesture beats dropping $50 (it's $80 for a new copy), although it's not surprising why VMware would give away this update. On the Mac, Fusion will also take advantage of macOS Sierra features like Siri voice commands and tabbed windows. The Linux, Mac and Windows versions of those programs can all run Windows 10 Anniversary Update and Windows Server 2016 in a virtual system, including multiple systems on Linux and Windows. VMware is releasing free upgrades to Fusion (8.5 and 8.5 Pro) and Workstation (12.5 and 12.5 Pro) that support the latest and greatest platforms. You might not have to run on that treadmill this year, though. You typically end up buying an upgrade every year just to get the latest operating system support, whether it's in the virtual environment or your native OS of choice.

Virtual machine software is theoretically a one-and-done purchase, but you know that's not how it works in practice.
