Please help - my version of VMware fusion is to old to be upgraded. If I buy the new version can I transfer my existing set up?

So I installed my Mac at El Captian & annoyingly my version of VMware fusion (5.0.3) is no longer supported and will not open.

Even more annoyingly VMware fusion offer upgrades to the new version for those who use the version 6 or later.

In any case, big question if I buy the new version is there a way I can still access my current setup?

Would like if someone could let me know. I am self employed & I've got software out there that are vital for work :/

Hello

Welcome to the VMware communities forum.

There is no problem with the Fusion 8 recognizing of your virtual machines to Fusion 5 (or more), it will go just pick up where you left off.

There are a few borderline cases, as it officially you should have your virtual machines closed and not suspended and preferably without clichés before upgrading to a newer version of the merger. However, in practice I saw real topics with that either.

Note that it is recommended to backup your virtual machines before going any further. Do this by copying them to an external drive (not dependent on time machine for backups of virtual machines) and then disconnect the drive.

You can start using on Fusion 8 for 30 days trial period, simply download it from here:

Try VMware Fusion or Fusion Pro. Run Windows on a Mac without rebooting.

Once it works as you want, simply assign the license to the merger to change it in the full licensed version.

Hope this helps,

  • Hello, please help me. I use a power keyboard for my laptop. I see in the new keyboard is equipped with a num lock key is turned on. I can't use on it please help me disable it. I do not use a NumLock on. Thank you

    Hello, please help me. I use a power keyboard for my laptop. I see in the new keyboard is equipped with a num lock key is turned on. I can't use on it please help me disable it. I do not use a NumLock on. Thank you

    You say that when you press the NUM LOCK key, the Numlock State does not change (if enabled to disabled and vice versa)?  Have you tried to unplug the keyboard and by ensuring that the keyboard of the laptop does not have enabled Numlock?  If so, turn it off on the laptop keyboard and reinsert the another keyboard and see if the problem is resolved.

    If you do not need the Numlock key, it can be disabled at startup with the following procedure:http://www.technipages.com/enabledisable-numlock-at-login-or-startup.html. Once this is done, I don't think he's going to turn on or off and that they the keyboard will start in the off position.  You will not be able to use the key yourself or another, but maybe the problem she is on (which is worse than it to be impossible to be turned on) will be resolved and I hope it will be enough for you.

    If the key does not work and you want to be able to use it, the keyboard may be defective.  Try the keyboard on another computer and see if you have the same problem.  If so, the keyboard is defective and must be replaced.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Migrate license VMWare Fusion of my old imac to my new imac

    I bought a new iMac and want to move to VMware Fusion of my old iMac to my new iMac.  How can I do this?  I don't want to uninstall it from my old mac until it works on the new as my vm in constant use.  I tried to download and install VMware Fusion on the new Mac and using the existing series, but it won't, which does not at all surprise me, but I thought it was worth the try. Any ideas or advice would be much appreciated!

    Thank you

    Are you copy and paste the serial number or are manually type you it?  I'd be copying and pasting to avoid typos.

    Also you can install Fusion without enter the serial number and then restart the Mac and perform the merge and try to enter the serial number.  Sometimes restart make a difference by taking the serial number.

    I am running Acrobat 9 Pro (9.5.5).  Do we not have to buy the new version if we have never updated?  Or we have the right to upgrade to the latest version.

    I'm not really clear on the intent of your question.  If you can get the latest version you want to buy it.  When you go to buy, you should be able to see if it has an option to buy an update of the version you currently have.  I can't find the purchase page to check it out myself... I can only find the subscription option.

  • Buy the new iMac and need help to understand the new options

    Replacement of the motherboard of my 2009 end iMac is unaffordable, so I'm looking to buy a new one. But the 'talk' has my head swimming. I know I want a 21.5 inches and that's it. My biggest complaint to my death machine now it was slow. However, I attributed as uVerse (Internet) and not my Mac; Maybe I was wrong?

    My previous was 33. GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8 GB, DDR3, a SATA 1 TB disk. I'm an independent publisher, it's full of documents, PDF files and tons of photos but apart from that... I did not use the design software (although I want to go in this area) and pretty much could have several tabs in Safari, Facebook, Word and Adobe open at the same time... nothing too taxing.

    So what do I need? I read everything I can find and I can't yet answer that question!

    Do I need a Fusion player (and what it is anyway)?

    What is the difference between a Fusion of 1 TB drive and a 256 GB or 512 GB flash drive?

    If I get in InDesign or Quark, Photoshop, will it take more RAM so I should just go with 16 now?

    Is the standard 2.7 GHz quad-core i5 processor fast enough, or should I switch to 2.9 or even the quad of 3.1 GHz with i7 processor? (allowing it to run faster, more RAM or higher processor?)

    Any advice or the definition terms would be MOST appreciated! Thank you!

    In your situation, I would buy the 1 TB drive fusion, quad-core processor i5 2.7 GHz with 16 GB of RAM. The RAM is perhaps an exaggeration, but you cannot add it later these days so I think 16 GB is safe. You should get a noticeable performance gain compared to your current system.

    IME, most of the complaints "My Mac is slow" result of naïve users be swindled by adding the third "crapware" such as antivirus programs, "cleaners", "optimizers" and "extensions". After a report of EtreCheck for your current computer see if it is the problem.

    It is possible that adding an SSD in your current setup will give you the extra boost you are looking for, but if you use the machine to make a living, I'd be inclined to think that 7 years is old enough. Be sure to ask your accountant and covers the cost of your new machine against the tax.

    Please take the opportunity to review your backup strategy. When it's your life on the line, you must have at least two external drives for backups. Keep one off-site and on-site, and rotate each week.

  • With the help of Windows Easy Transfer - need to transfer the old HARD drive to new computer - old HDD attached as external drive for the new usb port of the computer - help

    New computer installed Windows 7 and gave me an option to use Windows easy transfer to transfer files, data, programs, etc. from my old computer.  All I have from the old computer's hard drive; a lightning strike fried either food or his mother by car.  I have attached the hard as a disk to the new computer using the usb cable provided with the external hard drive case.  It is recognized as drive E: on the new computer.

    Trying to follow the instructions given by the Windows Easy Transfer software.  Get the software/folder from the old hard drive (drive E), but trying to run the software that I can't seem to do anything on the old disk.  When asked what is the former or the new computer - I respond to old, but no new file is created for the transfer.  When I answer again, a new file is created on the new computer (rather than the old HDD) and then he transferred again to new.  I can't create a file of whatever it is I want to transfer from the old HDD.

    I can't use an easy transfer cable because the old computer does not only the hard drive.  I can't connect to a network for the same reason.  I only have the hard that I can attach to the new computer.  But I can't get the new computer to process the old hard drive separately for transfer purposes.  The only other option I can think of is to attach the old HDD to another computer, and then try to run the software in this way, but I don't want just the stuff on the old hard drive a copy to the other computer.

    Can anyone help?  Suggest how to get the old hard drive files, data, transferred etc. to the new computer.  What are the steps?

    Thank you.

    Do yourself a favor, with the old drive connected externally, in the browser, simply copy the data files to the location of Documents of the PC win7. You can not copy programs, they need to be reinstalled from media origonal. You can copy all the downloaded files instalation

    You may need to take possession of your old documents folders - see win help to find out how

  • I have reason to believe that my PE13 program is corrupted.  If I buy the new version 14.0, does include the full program and the new so it could heal any damaged I have?

    I have reason to believe that my program EP 13 is corrupt in some critical ways.  If I buy the upgrade version 14.0, does include the full program or just the news.  If it includes the full program, I expect to "heal" my corruptions when I download it.  I know you will ask me how my PE 13 program is corrupted.  I'm ready to respond.

    First 14 elements (whenever its output is complete at the global level) is a stand-alone product. It should contain the editor first items 14 and 14 elements Organizer and all the features Adobe wanted in it (new and old to 14). It should have nothing to do with the performance of the elements first 13/13.1. There is no guarantee that your favorite features of 13 will not have been deleted in 14.

    What are the first item 13/13.1 signs and symptoms pointing you to believe that the program is corrupted? What are some critical ways you are talking about? What operating system are you currently using?

    In the circumstances, consider the 14 tryout before purchase. Think of it as a troubleshooting tool

    a. If the 14 works and 13 does not work, then 13 has the problem

    b. If 14 and 13 do not work, then the computer is your target for troubleshooting.

    Looking forward for more details

  • I upgraded Lightroom today and the new version has given me several permission errors.  I followed the steps to solve the problem of permission and now I get the error code 16 - Please reinstall the product.

    I don't know how to reinstall from scratch.  Did I lose my data?  I backed up my files and catalog with time machine (before errors), but I do not know how to proceed.   Should I just uninstall the product?

    If you had installed the LIghtroom using Time Machine backup application or any other Adobe applications, yes it is best to perform the entire process of removal and reinstallation.

    If its just catalogue, that's fine, you can simply uninstall and reinstall Lightroom.

    Anyhw, if you have not installed the real application using the Time Machine backup, let us know if you tried steps mentioned in the link below?

  • 49.0.2 Firefox works fine, but I can't upgrade to Firefox 50: the new version does not and will not be closed.

    In early October, Microsoft forced an upgrade on my computer from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Firefox 49.0.2 continued to operate correctly. Then Firefox 50 arrived, and when the automatic upgrade occurred, Firefox would no longer work. It seems normal on the screen, but it will not look for the website of my saved favorites, and it connects to sites that I identify by entering the url in the address bar. It also doesn't close - to close Firefox, I have to call the Task Manager. I tried to uninstall Firefox 50 and put it back - that does not work. I also tried to uninstall Firefox 49.0.2 completely, restart the computer and then do a fresh install of Firefox 50, but nothing seems to work.

    I came back to Firefox 49.0.2 as a temporary measure (disabling the auto update feature), but this isn't a good solution in the long term. What should I do? Wait for Firefox 51? Abandon Firefox?

    Your problem may have several causes. Let's start with;

    Some problems occur when your Internet security program was set to trust the previous version of Firefox, but it no longer recognizes your updated as version being approved. Now how do I solve the problem: to allow Firefox to connect to the Internet again.

    • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (for example, you are using the latest version).
