Buy VMware Fusion 7, but the v5 download and run the merger also?

I looked on the website of VMware, but impossible to find the answer to this question:

A customer can purchase VMware Fusion version 7 (the current version) but also to download and run an earlier version of VMware Fusion (for example, merger v5) for temporary use? Here's an example scenario:

* A VMware customer has two Macs. One is an old Mac running Snow Leopard, and the other is a new Mac running Mavericks or Yosemite. The customer wants to use the new Mac, go ahead (and give the old Mac). The client runs even a few applications that are not supported on what it is later than Snow Leopard (for example PowerPC applications). The obvious solution is to run these applications in a guest of Snow Leopard Server in VMware Fusion on the new Mac.

* The problem is that Snow Leopard Server does not install as a guest operating system on the recent Mac models of the client, but it can run an existing Snow Leopard Server prompt that was created on an older Mac.

* The client has this old Snow Leopard Mac. Unfortunately, it won't run VMware Fusion 7. It will run in VMware Fusion version 5, however. The customer wants to run VMware Fusion 5 on the old Mac to create the Snow Leopard Server on old Mac prompt, then copy the comments for the new Mac where it can run under VMware Fusion 7.

HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS:

--> How can the customer buy VMware Fusion 7, but also to download a copy of VMware Fusion 5 for this operation 'create a Snow Leopard Server prompt' unique on the old Mac?

-> Will VMware provide a Fusion 5 license when the trial period expires on the old Mac before the customer can get a Snow Leopard Server comments work?


I sent you this link last night via Message private and also posted in your other thread on the subject.  You should be able to use as disk utility here: create a disk image of physical Mac OS X install media.

If this process fails to create an image that starts on your newer Mac, please let us know, as this is a question we want to address.  I'm not aware of any circumstances which require a downgrade from Fusion 5 install Snow Leopard Server.

Thank you

  • URGENT! After installing 6 Fusion and creation of new virtual machine with Windows 7, I get a message "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit". WHAT SHOULD DO?

    After purchase, installation and activation Fusion 6 with the license key, I had a library of VMS showing 2 Boot Camp partitions. It's strange that I only have 1.
    I tried to activate them but received a message that it is out of date in 2 cases. (see annex 1)

    I started a new virtual machine with a Windows 7 installation disc directly on my HD. I have provided a way to do this and followed the instructions of Fusion to the screen.

    Apparently, everything went well and after several restarts, the installation appears to be over (see annex 2) I tried to open and run the installed Windows 7. I had however a window with the following message:

    "Pending the unit.

    "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit. Please wait until the unit starts automatically, or interact with the virtual machine below. ' (see annex 3)

    Here Windows 7 seems to start but after a while with the home screen and of the Øresund finishing this window closed and open a new window called library Virtual Machine on the left showing the partitions of Bootcamp and the Virtual Machine Windows 7 x 64 and in the middle gray a representation of what is supposed to be the Windows 7 desktop. (see Exhibit 4). When I opened the settings button a window with different setting options pops up. This mark means to me that Windows is installed but the final opening isn't the case

    When you quit Vmware Fusion indeed Windows seems to be close (see part 5)

    What is going on? What has gone wrong? What should I do? I don't know how to solve the problem.

    I should f.i. remove the virtual machine from Windows 7 and is free automatically made partition on my HD as the reboot with the Windows installation disc? or y at - it another way to enter the UNIT?

    Help, please!

    Thanks in advance

    Your virtual machine is running. It is in the unit - which each windows gets its own window of Mac - and you have no application Windows running, there is no visible windows. You can start a Windows application in the start of Fusion menu in the menu bar at the top right, or turn on the Windows task bar on the view menu and start applications from there. Or use the view menu to switch to the Single mode or full-screen, which puts all of your Windows desktop in a window separate from Mac.

    You do not have two partitions to Boot Camp on your Mac, you have two virtual machines named "Boot Camp partition".

    The message about it being unable to enter the unit arrives while the merger is pending for the tools begin to run, because the tool is necessary for the unit.

  • Using the stand-alone converter 5 with entry as local windows 7 in vmware fusion 4 output, the output is a folder with many files. How can I get this folder into a single file with the extension windows7.vmwarevm?

    I use standalone converter where I am converting my local windows 7 in vmware fusion 4 at the exit. When I made the migration wizard previously, I had an output of a windows7.vmwarevm file. However, when I made the converter, I had a folder called windows7. In this case, I had several files.

    Is there a way for me to convert all these files into one file, that is to say: windows7.vmwarevm? do I need to use the converter or other vmware tools?

    Welcome to the community,

    Please take a look at Re: how to convert a package/package of my folder on drive hard/vmware fusion? to see if that helps. This is a pretty old post, but I think that it is still valid.

  • re-installed xp due to a virus... now unable to download and run the exe

    I re-installed using the partition recovery/repair due to obtaining avirus that I couldn't get rid of. Probably not the best thing to do... I now can not download and run exe games or something else...

    Help, please

    This may or may not be something you can fix on your own (in other words, it can get tricky and involved).

    First of all, it is extremely important to know the name of the malware you have. For example, if you have the malware installed in "The Security Protection", this guide should help you:

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-security-protection

    You will notice that you need a lot more that only run MBAM.

    In addition, you will probably need to run several times, restarting your PC between the two.

    In order to repair the damage, this should help:

    http://Technorati.com/technology/it/article/remove-after-effects-of-virusesmalwarespyware-and/

    Unfortunately, using the recovery partition (However, you never haven't indicated that you did exactly), can be complicated even more your situation. The good news is that as long as you save all your important data, you can always wipe your drive and start clean.

  • I get a "not an application valid win 32 error" when I try to download and run a program

    Original title: win 32 error

    When I dounload one program and try to run it I get one is not a valid win32 application error. This happens on more than 1 program how to fix this?

    Hello

    ·         What program are you trying to install?

    ·         The program is compatible with Windows XP?

    ·         Since when are you facing this problem?

    ·         What web browser do you use to download a file?

    I suggest to delete temporary internet files from your computer, and then try to download the program, save it in a different location and try to install it from there.

     

    Get the error: not a valid 32-bit application can have several origins:

    I have listed some of them below.

    The file is corrupted, bad or missing.
    (a) if the hard drive is damaged or hurt it cause work programs to fail, either because not all data can be read from the hard drive the program is damaged on the drive. Run scandisk and defrag on the hard disk to check for potential errors.

    (b) If you are running the program from a shortcut on the computer, verify that the program is still on the computer. In some cases if the program is no longer installed on the computer, you can get this error.

    File is not designed for your version of Windows:


    (a) If you try to run a program that is not designed for your version of Windows, you can get this error.

    (b) Although many old programs designed to work in older versions of Windows will work with new versions of Windows, unfortunately, not all programs will not work.

    (c) if the program is an MS-DOS program more former start program or Windows, you can get this error.

    (d) if the program is designed for a 64-bit version of Windows and you are running in a 32-bit version of Windows, it will not work and generate this error.

    File is a virus, worm or other malicious program file.


    (a)
    this error can be generated by a file that is a virus, worm, Trojan horse or other type of malware file. Often, this will result because the antivirus installed on the computer will not allow the file to install or run. Try to analyze the file to check, it is not a virus or infected.

    (b) if the file has been checked and is clean, it is always possible that the virus protection program or a another program installed on the computer is at the origin of questions during installation or execution of the program. Start the computer in Mode safe and try to run the program. start the computer in Mode safe will be that nothing is running in the background that could cause this problem.

    Hardware incompatibility.

    one) If you get this error during the installation of a program, it is also possible that the CD-ROM drive or the drive that you are installing the program from is not compatible with Windows or drivers that are not compatible with Windows.

    (b) download the latest drivers for your CD player or other of the manufacturer of the computer or the manufacturer of the equipment. (Microsoft does not pilot for other materials)

    Follow these steps and check if that helps:

    Step 1:

    I suggest you to download and run the latest Microsoft security on your computer Scanner and check if it helps:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: the data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

     

    Step 2:

    I suggest you follow the troubleshooting steps form the article and check if it helps.

  • Buy VMWare Fusion 7 now?

    Hello!

    I bought a Mac and you want to use a virtual machine now. I thought about buying the merger, but I don't know if its worth because I think that this year will come a new OS X and Windows 10 - I want to use both (at least OS X).

    I don't want to buy an update in a few months bcs just with a new OS X. Is Fusion 7 my right choice? It will get the updates for the new OS X?

    Thank you!

    Welcome to the community,

    VMware Fusion 6 is released in September 2013, Fusion 7 in September 2014. Assuming that the next major version will be available later this year, it's for you to decide if you want to wait.
