2 computers use the same VM

I currently use Fusion on my MBP 17 ". I think to buy a Mac Pro. Is it possible to use the same virtual machine on both computers (not simultaneously). I would keep the VM files synced, much as I currently synchronize them on my NAS.

I know that when I just copy a virtual machine on the same machine, Fusion detects the change and asked if I moved or copied the VM. I'm OK with having to select 'copy' whenever I run Merge on both machines, as long as the virtual machines themselves are intact and usable.

The new scenario would be that I run Fusion on Mac Pro, most of the time, but when I need to travel, I can also run on the MacBook Pro.

I "move" computers virtual between the hosts and the various external drives fairly regularly.  In fact I run same VMS under VMware Player on a Windows PC and Fusion on my Mac.  As you described I never run them in 2 different places at the same time and, therefore, whenever I wonder that I pass my VM, not copy them.

The only time where you have to answer that you copied a VM is when you expect to run it at the same time / same machine than the original.  I have a starter PC that I do when I need a purpose special VM for some reason any.

If you use your SIN as more of a mechanism of backup that is fine and no doubt very convenient.  My experience is that performance with a virtual stored on a single drive NAS computer is not acceptable in reality nothing to do with the virtual machine.  I recommend FW400 or better than the interface for virtual machines stored on an external drive.

    How do you install the creative cloud on several computers using the same license?

    Installation on multiple computers can be done independently of the subscription.  You only need the lic3ense when it comes to activation, you have two active facilities (signed in).  Just install the desktop application and use it to install the applications, and then connect to activate.

  • two computers using the same router belkin wireless gave rise to the loss or crippling a slow internet connection, why?

    Two laptops in my house share a belkin wireless router. Every 10 minutes, when the two laptops are connected to the internet, one or the other seems to push the other off the connection. Then speed either decreases or the connection is completely lost. This occurs when one of the laptops is using Skype or download, but also just when both are normally surf as well. I've never known a wireless router not being able to manage two laptops before. Any ideas, anyone please? The two laptops running Windows 7 if it helps?

    Help! I'm about to commit the homicide of the computer!

    I have been troubleshooting for weeks and am now bald from ripping my hair!

    Computer: Dell Inspiron 537 s Slim Desktop  w / Pentium Dual - Core CPU E5200 @250 GHz

    Network card: Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller (checked several times, through Windows, it works correctly)

    System: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit with Service Pack 1

    Router: Netgear N600 model #: WNDR3400v2

    Cable router: SBV5220 Surfboard Motorola

    Now several months ago this desktop computer once more had SOME programs lose the ability to access the internet via an Ethernet cable.

    Affected programs:

    MS Internet Explorer

    Mozilla Firefox

    Avast! Security Suite

    Work of MS Security Update

    Ping works sites (Yahoo, etc.)

    Other computers connected to this network via WiFi - no problem getting on the internet.

    Run the network troubleshooter advises all is working properly, no suggestion.

    Attempted fixes:

    Turn off all extensions on IE (but don't forget Firefox and Avast! are also unable to access.)

    Disabled all start-ups and the package process

    Restarted in Safe Mode - still not able to access.

    Ran check complete virus, then check virus run start. Minor ad-ware 'virus' not found, all corrected automatically.

    Rebooted the router and the computer to infinity and beyond! s

    Tried other computers using the same ethernet cable connected to this wireless routers cable, no problem accessing the internet.

    Disabled functions package

    Off MS Firewall

    IP Reset configuration (memory: netsh ip net reset c:\resetlog.txt - without DOUBT NOT EXACT - OF THE MEMORY.) Command worked)

    As I said, this had happened before and then miraculously fixed itself after a short period (less than 1 week). This time, no joy.

    Of course, it's one of two things:

    (1) a configuration problem I just can't find/understand.

    (2) the problem of equipment more strange, more selective, in the universe.

    Hello team zig - zag,

    I wanted to thank you for your help. I finally broke down and reached out to our friends at Microsoft directly for assistance. They had me a role through all the things that you suggested (again). And finally (after many hours of phone and chat discussions) came up with an answer: "* shrug * we don't know what is the problem - choose a restore point and come back to that.» What I did. This has solved the problem of internet access, but created other problems I'm trying (nothing that I have to post here, they are specific to a particular program package).

    Still, I wanted to thank you for your time and effort on my behalf. I'm very, very happy!

    All my best,

    Kel

  • I use Thunderbird on multiple computers to the same gmail account but I have a laptop with little memory, so I need this laptop only to download a few files

    I use Thunderbird on multiple computers to the same gmail account. I have a small laptop with very little memory and it runs out of disk space when it downloads all my folders. I would only download some of my file on the laptop, but keep all the folder on my other computers because they do not have problems with disk space. When I unsubscribe records in 'manage folder subscriptions' then he cancels his subscription on all my computers, not just the laptop. When I go to 'Properties' on the folder and sets 'retention individual police' these settings are not applied at all. What can I do?

    All of the messages in each folder will appear in your message list. But this does not mean all the bodies of messages are downloaded, if you have properly configured the parameters of the disk. If what I described above stuck in your settings then Message body should be downloaded only 'on demand' when you click on each message.

    To confirm this install the addon glodaquilla, which has a column "on the disk" that indicates if a message is on the disk. If you want, after you have installed the addon set Thunderbird to work offline, so it does not download message body when you click in the list of messages.

    You can't share a library that is located on an iPhone, iPod or iPad with other devices. You can only share a library that is located on a Mac or a PC with other devices. On other devices, iPhone, iPod and iPad for example, you then activate home sharing to connect to the shared library.

  • How to stop the connectivity between two computers that use the same IP address... ?

    Today, I managed to connect two computers with the same IP address. But now it is to be feared. for example, a person can access my computers using my IP and MAC address. So now, how can I stop the connectivity between these two computers. should what setting I use to stop.

    Tahnks.

    Hello

    1 have. what measures you taken to connect 2 computers with the same IP address?

    2. How are the 2 computers connected?

    3. how exactly you want to stop the connectivity between 2 computers?

    I want to tell you that 2 computers on the same network cannot have the same address. Each machine must have a unique address to identify it. A private network, as a home network connected to the internet, can be connected to a router to connect to the network, will have only 1 address, public IP address.

    In addition, if we know the IP address of a computer along the user ID and password, we can access the computer/shared files.

     
    If you are referring to the change of the IP address of the two computers, you can follow these steps and check.
     
    a. network connections open. Click the Start button, and then click Control Panel. In the search box, type 'adapter' and then, under center network and sharing, click view network connections.
    b. right click on the connection you want to change. Click on properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    c. click on the network tab. Under this connection uses the following items, click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) or Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6), and then click the properties button. To specify your IP for IPv4, click on use the following IP address, and then, at the address IP, subnet mask, and gateway boxes by default, type IP address settings.
     
    A typical IPv4 address looks like 192.168.0.2; a typical subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The default gateway is usually the address of your router.
    For example, IP address: 192.168.0.2 by 192.168.0.12 (for computers)
    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    DNS: 192.168.0.1
     
    I hope this helps. If you have any other queries/issues related to Windows, write us and we will be happy to help you further.
