Fusion and Parallels on the same computer?

A few months ago, I went from Fuiosn 3.0 to Parallels 5 mainly to see if Parallels would be faster on my iMac (it was).  I like parallel, but all-in-all, I liked the Fusion experience, better, I used a little unity and Fusion felt less intrusive on Mac.  So finally my question: is it possible to install Parallels and Fusion on the same machine, without a lot of interference between them, since they have both fact their integration with MAC OS X.  I do not really want to run them at the same time, but just have both installed, so I can try one and then the other.  I'm guessing it's something stupid and prone to problems, but I wanted to see if anyone else had tried, and what has been their experience.

I tried to search but the only things I found were in 2007 and 2008.

I have two Parallels and VMware Fusion installed on my MacBook Pro and have no problem having both installed at the same time however I have not run them at the same time, neither do I.

  • Steps to upgrade to 4 Fusion and moving to the new computer

    Hey there. I could use some help with few steps so that I have if sure and get everything set up on my new computer, because I get conflicting information from friends of Apple.

    Currently I am running Fusion 3.1.1 on a late 2009 MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. I have a virtual machine running a single stand-alone version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and a bunch of programs installed in Windows. I installed Fusion and Windows at the same time of the disks.

    I now move to a brand new MacBook Pro with Lion already installed. And I bought 4 Fusion on disk.

    My question is, which perform the steps I should follow to get Fusion 4/Windows 7 on my new MacBook Pro? I have to reinstall Windows on the new machine? Or can I somehow copied it to the Virtual Machine and have all come up with it?

    I'm a bit technical, but the new to all this stuff with.

    What I have read, I understand that I have to install Fusion and then copy the virtual machine over the old computer. Is this copy the complete Windows installation without that there is a problem with the registration number?

    Any help I can get will be more appreciated.

    Thank you! Linda

    From what I've read, I understand that I need to install Fusion and then copy the virtual machine over from the old computer. Does this copy the full Windows install without there being a problem with the registration number?
    

    Yes, it's exactly what you need to do. The exception is if you had installed Windows on a Boot Camp partition, you will not be able to copy on the virtual machine (since the data are on a separate partition and not in an easily copied file). For more security, keep your old configuration until you're sure the new works.

    Windows can decide whether he wants to reactivate, according to many variables that he considers. It is impossible to say whether it will be or not until you try. However, even if it does, it should be unique and should not be too much of a hassle.

    You must install Flight simulator on vista as well as Windows Xp and vista are two different operating systems.
     
    You log in to vista, you may not use any of the XP application and vice versa.

  • LabVIEW 6.1 and 2012 at the same computer problem

    Hello world.

    I've been using Labview 6.1 for a while and it worked fine for me.

    I recently installed Labview 2012 on the same computer and looks like the serial port of functions do not work properly. Whenever I try to open an example of VISA communication, labview freezes.

    I guess it's because even though I can install two versions of labview in the same computer, the drivers can be installed once correct?

    But I thought that labview 6.1 and 2012 may share the same VISA driver.

    Is there a way I can resolve this problem with versions of labview works correctly?

    Thanks in advanc.

    The LabVIEW and VISA compatibility chart is here. As you can see, there is no version of NI-VISA which is compatible with the two 2012 and your old 6.1. Indeed, the graphic poster not only any version of older than 7.1.1 LabvIEW.

  • Flash CS4 can be installed and run on the same computer as Flash CS3?

    I will be able to install Flash CS4 and keep Flash CS3? I can run both at the same time on the same computer?

    I have several projects I want to maintain that in Flash CS3 for various reasons. If I have to put in place a separate computer to develop in CS4, I would like to know in advance.

    Thanks in advance.

    You should be able to. CS4 install in a separate Directory of CS4. I currently have a system running suite CS3 and Flash 8 and InDesign CS2 web! From time to time, the system is confused between Flash 8 and Flash CS3 to open when you click on a FLA file in Windows Explorer by default. But apart from that, there is no issue.

    I intend to get CS4 and still keep Flash 8 and CS3, simply because I've been working with people around the world who don't bother to upgrade.

    I'm sorry, if this question was already asked on the forum.

    I have already installed extended CS6... I want to open a trial CC account. Can I use the trial version of Photoshop with the CS6 CC at the same time on one computer?

    And a second question, is that one version of CC, is there? I mean, there is no standard or extended for CC version, there is only one CC?

    Yes and Yes. Different versions can co-exist peacefully and from the CC of the PS, there is only one version of the PS.

  • Can I get waterfox and firefox on the same computer

    I now use firefox 9.0 32-bit, then I install waterfox 9.0 and still use firefox. I have windows 7 32 & 64 bit

    Just make sure you install each version of a separate program folder (make an installation customized if necessary) and that you use a separate profile for each version folder.

    I don't know if Waterfox uses the same profiles.ini file to save profiles that Firefox works, but in case it then make sure to create a new profile.

  • Can I have Windows Defender and Avast on the same computer?

    If I have Windows Defender, I need avast on my computer too?

    Hello

    Yes, Windows Defender is an antispyware program if you need an antivirus as well.

    --------------

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
    Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp?prevx=Y<-->

    Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.
