• VMWare Fusion Pro

  Hi all

  Two questions: can I create of virtual machines with Fusion Pro? And I can change the hardware settings on virtual machines with Fusion Pro? i.e. Add another network connection, modify a serial port, change the hard drive sizes, etc...

  Context: I buy a new laptop for a company I put in place, and I'm looking at a mac. Most of my software is windows based, which is not a problem, because I already use VMWare workstation on my PC. But I can not run on a mac Workstation, so if I need to create new virtual machines, I have to go back to a PC workstation, or can Fusion Pro do?

  Option B is to create a virtual Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8 using my existing PC, then basically save them as models and the clone necessary to make new machines.

  Option C is to use the PC to create a windows virtual machine, and then use Fusion to run VMWare Workstation on the virtual machine on the mac, and save the virtual machine, I create the machine host to run them using VMWare fusion. But that means the purchase of two packages, and besides, I'm worried that Xzibit will appear and say "Yo dawg, I you herd as VM" or I'll violate the space/time continuum and cause a black hole

  If anyone knows where I can find a comparison chart between Fusion and Fusion Pro would be great as well

  Thank you!

  VMware Fusion while having only the features of VMware Workstation however it is much more then what VMware Player is and can create and modify Virtual Machines.

  The comparison to VMware Fusion vs VMware Fusion Professional is right in front of you to the VMware Fusion product page!

• Upgrade to Windows 10 8.1 windows on VM (running VMWare Fusion 7.1.2) - only 3 available screen resolutions

  I'm under VMWare Fusion worm 7.1.2 and I just upgraded my Windows to Windows 10 8.1 and now all my icons are HUGE and my choice of screen resolution is limited.

  I made sure that the 3D is disabled on the display settings of the merger (which allowed me to upgrade from Windows 8.1). I have a MacBook Pro retina 15 "2013.

  

  This is how the icons look

  

  In addition, activate the Retina display option did not help matters.

  I had the same problem. I reinstalled the VMWare tools and selected repair. He fixed the reboot.

• A product key from an old computer can be used for vmware fusion on a new mac?

  We used to own a Dell computer with windows XP Professional OS. Lately, we have switched all of our Mac computers and no longer use the old windows computer. I have the product key for this OS and I was hoping to use the CD of windows XP on VMware fusion and relocation (in order to play video games). So far, the installation was almost a success until it would not accept the old operating system product key. Is there a way to get a new product key?
  PS The only purpose is for the PC games we have.

  can I get another free product key? I still have the old computer

  you need to know if the old pc had an O E M version of windows, because

  windows OEM versions are locked to the motherboard of the PC they where first installed at.

  If the product key you have is from a version marketed Windows (non oem) you can install the version on another pc if you take away the first pc.

  in other words, a version on a pc at the same time.

  You should check with the microsoft Web site dealing with pirated software and product keys.

• Vista Ultimate, mac, boot camp and VMware Fusion

  Just installed VMware Fusion 2.0 and pulled on my Boot Camp Partition. Vista looks good as a virtual machine, but told me that must be activated and that the product key is already in use. It is a commercial version of Vista and is only installed on the boot camp partition. VMWare support site was not very useful. Any thoughts?

  Hello, Greg Bazhaw,.

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers forum.  I've heard of virtual systems having this problem, you must activate Windows.

  To open Activation of Windows by clicking on the Start button, clicking computer, clicking Properties, and then click on click here to activate Windows now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Thank you for using answers Forum. Please let us know how it works.

• Genuine Windows 7 on MacBook Pro running in the partition, BootCamp with VMware Fusion 3.1

  I'm having a problem with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

  I installed Windows 7 on my Bootcamp partition and until recently he worked well as well when I ran into VMWare Fusion.

  When I boot on my Windows 7 on Bootcamp partition, everything is OK.  But then when I run it in VMWare Fusion it says that my copy is not genuine.

  I just went through the automated phone system and entered the codes, and so now while I'm running Fusion Windows is genuine.

  I fear, however, that when I return to the execution of the partition, Bootcamp, Windows will say that is not true, once again.

  Only, I have a copy of Windows 7 and can only run from the VMWare Fusion or Bootcamp partition at any time.

  How can I fix it if Windows is more said that it is not authentic, when I switch from a training camp and VMWare Fusion?

  I need to be able to run Windows while I'm on the side of Mac at the same time

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  If you used the same Windows Installer Bootcamp, VMWare Fusion product key, there is the question.  You can only install and activate a 1 license of Windows 7.  The second installation requires own license that you can buy on the Microsoft Store. Carey Frisch

• Resizing of Office Win10 to the same size as the window of VMWare Fusion

  I am running Win 10 in VMWare Fusion 8.0.2 on my Mac (ElCapitan). Windows 10 office fills only about 3/4 of the VMWare window. I can't resize the desktop in full screen to match the virtual computer screen. I have not had any problems with the Office Win 8.1 in VMWare Fusion 6. Which setting I'm missing? Thank you

  Hello

  Uninstall VMware tools

  Restart your guest operating system

  Install VMware Tools

  Normally this should be it.

• VMWare Fusion pro 7.1.1 - blocking running yosemite as a guest problem

  Hi all

  I have a Yosemite pro running (mid-2014, 16 GB of ram video card w / discrete) MacBook. When I run a guest of yosemite, the video is very lag, and the virtual machine is generally not very handy.

  The guest has 4 cores, 4 GB ram, 256 MB of video memory (using the discrete card for 3D applications only) and implements the latest vmware tools 'material' and vmware. I disabled the sound and bluetooth.

  Is that what I can do to improve performance?

  Thank you!

  Yes.  Please check this blog for the manual workaround and a program called "BeamOff" that will provide relief without manual effort.  https://derflounder.WordPress.com/2014/12/13/improving-Yosemite-VM-performance-in-VMware-Fusion/

  I am not the author, and cannot vouch for the port version, however.  I downloaded the source, reviewed and updated on mine, just to be sure.  But it will fix the problem that you are experiencing.  (You need to run the application in the prompt, if it isn't obvious!)

• How does VMWare Fusion 7?

  I'm close to be computer illiterate, I'm sorry. I need to run a Windows program on my Mac. It's called Cobra show creator, cobrafiringsystems.com, and it is used for the fireworks of script and poster design. I installed VMWare Fusion 7, then Windows 7 Pro. In Safari, I downloaded the application Cobra show creator. I don't know how to get Windows so I can run. Of course, I don't know what I'm doing and the need for a resource really basic beginners to help me understand how to perform this task in a single. Run the Cobra Show creator. When I open VMWare Fusion, a black and gray appears with a white arrow, I click on the arrow, a progress bars runs for a while and then I get a black screen. At the top of the screen, there is a toolbar and a small vmware with 'Windows 7 x 64' icon next to it. If I do start with "How a computer works for Dummies" and progress through a course of self-study set to arrive at a moment where I understand it, it's fine. If someone will put me in the first step to be able to run this program on my Mac, I will appreciate it.

  I'll bite. Here are the steps you need to take. Keep in mind that it's my best guess - I have never installed or used Cobra show creator, so I don't know exactly how it is supposed to work:

  TO START:

  1. Launch VMware Fusion. I guess that you have done with this.

  2. install Windows 7. I guess that you have done with this.

  3. start Windows 7 in VMware Fusion. Looks like you do this step correctly, and appeared a window Windows 7 (with the toolbar, etc.). What I don't understand is why the window is black. My Windows 7 window is black as long as Windows 7 is starting, but I see a normal Windows 7 window, once it's over.

  FIX: In the menu bar Mac, VMware Fusion, select the Virtual Machine-> Reboot and tell us what is happening. We will need more information to help you solve this problem.

  Next steps:

  WINDOWS IS GO:

  4. Once Windows 7 is to the top, you should see a normal screen of Windows 7 with the Windows flag 'Start' button in the lower left corner. If this is not the case, connect to Windows 7 with the account and the password that you created during the installation. Now you should see the Windows flag 'start '.

  5. in the Mac, VMware Fusion menu bar, read the Virtual Machine menu.

  Does include "Install VMware Tools"? If so, select and install VMware Tools from within the window of Windows 7. Choose all the default values.

  If it says "Update VMware Tools", skip it and proceed to the next step (step 6).

  SET UP A SHARED FOLDER:

  6. in the VMware Fusion menu bar, select the Virtual Machine-> settings (or press command-E)

  7. in the settings window, click "sharing".

  8. click on (check mark) "enable sharing".

  9. click on the sign more, then navigate to the Mac folder that has the installer of Cobra show creator.

  10. the folder should appear in the list, and "on" must be checked.

  11. close the Setup window and return to the screen of your Windows 7.

  INSTALL COBRA SHOW CREATOR:

  12. click on the button "Start" Windows flag in the bottom left corner and select "Computer" on the right side of the menu.

  13. subject to the network location, double-click shared folders to open, and then double-click your shared folder to open it.

  14. double-click on setup of Cobra show creator.

  15. follow the prompts to install Cobra show creator. I hope it's intuitive. If in doubt, accept the default value.

  16. after the installation, you can double-click a desktop icon Cobra show creator. If there is no icon on the desktop, then click the Windows flag 'Start' menu and then click on Cobra show creator.

  Warnings and additional remarks:

  * I assumed you use settings by default when you installed Windows 7 virtual machine in VMware.

  * I guess these default settings are sufficient for Cobra show creator.

  * I take you to the word you go only to run Cobra show creator. If you do a lot of other things in Windows, including connection to the Internet, then you should proactively make sure it is safe by installing software anti-malware, keeping Windows updated with patches updates, monthly Microsoft etc..

  Good luck! Happy Easter! Let us know what's going to happen.

• Performance of poor graphics on VMWare Fusion when using an external monitor

  Hello

  When you use an external monitor (connected to VGA via adapter Thunderbolt), I noticed severe lag while doing operations with open windows (for example, drag, maximize, minimize). In general, it is safe to say that all operations that appeal to no effect whatsoever (for example open a start menu), are significantly lag. When running in a one-stop single mode or unplug the external monitor, none of these discrepancies. So I strongly guess that arises the question of having a connected external monitor.

  -Would be my Macbook is not powerful enough to run 4 screens simultaneously (two for Mac OS in native mode as well as more virtual both inside Windows)? Are there settings I can try and change that could affect this underperformance? Or is it a problem with VMWare? Please note that the CPU is not even by far the most when running the virtual machine and 'stress test' moving around the windows.

  My settings for the virtual machine are attached to this post.

  I use a Macbook to mid-2014 Pro retina 13 "with 16 GB of RAM and a processor Intel i7 @ 3 GHz, as well as the latest Version of VMWare Fusion (7.1.0). The OS I am running using VMWare is a Windows 8.1. (implemented from scratch on this machine) with all updates installed (as well as VMWare tools). I am running Windows in a resolution of 2560 x 1600 with icons on the scale, but I tried to run VMWare low with 1440 x 900 resolution, which made no difference.

  Hi ltzi1,

  Are there when you select "Unit" only for "Scaled high resolution" in the display settings?

  Please can you give us the external monitor resolution setting and attached support beam (it can be collected by 'Help-> support Collect information') which could help understand the problem?

  Or a registration form would be useful. : D

  Thank you.

• VMware Fusion has encountered an error and has stopped Windows.

  Summary:

  I started experiencing this problem in November and was beaten on that since including using the VMware support and Apple support.

  Full of the message in the virtual machine window:

  = VMware Fusion has encountered an error and has stopped

  = bottom of Windows.

  ====

  = Click on restart Windows to start Windows again.  Click report for

  ====

  = < ignore > < report... > < Windows restart >

  By clicking < report... > generates the report

  Clicking on < reboot Windows > hangs the system.

  Various VMware Fusion, Virtual Machine commands do nothing.

  Again, only way I found to get there is to Apple, Force Quit of VMware Fusion.

  Two systems in question, iMac and MacBook.

  Familiar to anyone else?

  Details: =.

  The two systems were very well work well on several years.

  Status of starting point was.

  -iMac and MacBook running VMware without any problems for several years.

  -This includes several updates to Mac OS and VMware Fusion.

  -OS X 10.9.5 on both systems with the latest upgrades.

  -VMware Fusion 6 on all systems with the latest upgrades.

  -Virtual Machines on two almost identical systems - Windows 7, all derivatives of a VM database.

  
  

  Problem started only on iMac.

  
  

  In weeks, with the encouragement of support VMware and Apple have updated to Yosemite, installed VMware Fusion 7 and built Windows 8.1 scratch machines.

  
  

  Problem now happening on both systems with MacBook, stay alive for about 15 minutes and iMac may be several hours.

  Any ideas appreciated.

  Thank you.

• How to install an instance of Yosemite on VMWare Fusion 7?

  Just got a Mac Mini with preinstalled Yosemite. I want to install an instance of Yosemite on my virtual machine running Fusion 7. How do I do that? Yosemite download on the App store? This will create problems?

  I'm learning the terminal, and I feel much better in futzing with it in a sandbox.

  Just got a Mac Mini with preinstalled Yosemite. I want to install an instance of Yosemite on my virtual machine running Fusion 7. How do I do that? Yosemite download on the App store? This will create problems?

  I'm learning the terminal, and I feel much better in futzing with it in a sandbox.

  I think that the people above are missing the point. Trixie (?) got a Mac with already installed Yosemite, but wants a second copy in a virtual machine for Trixie can practice some terminal commands without fear of ruining its production equipment. The question is how to get a copy of Yosemite Trixie allowing it to install on a virtual machine.

  None of my Macs come with Yosemite, so I easily could get it from the App Store. It's free from Apple. Even if your Mac came with Yosemite, I guess you can get your own copy of the installer from the App Store. Based on this assumption, here's what I suggest:

  GETTING TO YOSEMITE

  * First of all, try to get a copy of Yosemite from the App Store yourself, even if you are already running Yosemite. Search in the App Store, "os x yosemite." The icon is a white circle with a big X in "utilities". Go ahead and 'Get' or 'Buy' or 'download '. It will be downloaded in your Applications folder. The file is called "install OS X Yosemite.app. (NOTE: you can't see the part ".app" to the name of the file.)

  * If it does not, ask a friend with an old Mac to get a copy of Yosemite with their Mavericks or older Mac. Remind them NOT to launch "Installer OS X Yosemite.app" in their Applications folder! They should copy out of their Applications folder and put it on a flash drive or DVD ROM or the hard drive for you. (IMPORTANT: even if your friend wants to install Yosemite, they must first make a separate copy of the installer.) As soon as it is installed, Yosemite deletes its own Installer automatically from the Applications folder only, but not the copies that have been made elsewhere.

  INSTALLATION of YOSEMITE IN a VMware VIRTUAL MACHINE

  * Move the file "install OS X Yosemite.app' of Applications to another folder. If it's on a flash drive, you can leave it there.

  * Launch VMware Fusion.

  Create a new machine virtual (menu file-> New, library Virtual Machine 'Add-> New', or command-N).

  * Choose Install from disk or an image. Click on continue.

  * Click on using another drive or disc image..., then browse to the file "install OS X Yosemite.app. Click the Open button in the dialog box, then click on continue.

  (Note: there is no need to open the 'package' to find the file "installESD.dmg".) Simply select the file "Install OS X Yosemite.app" and VMware Fusion does the rest for you.)

  * If you want to customize the settings (change the RAM, disk space, etc), do it now. Otherwise, click Finish. The setup of OS X Yosemite will start and run. It will say "creating installation support...". This may take a few minutes. "On my computer, it took more than a" few"minutes. :-)

  * Choose the appropriate language (probably English, if you're reading this!). Click on "Install Mac OS X", then continue.

  * Continue to install OS X as usual.

  * Don't forget to update to OS X (software update) and also to install VMware Tools.

• What happened to the 'light' of VMware Fusion 7 has been released since version?

  Earlier versions of VMware Fusion has always had a 'light' version, which did not include the McAfee or the VMware tools.

  For some reason any now with version 7, this option seems to be gone. Any idea when / if a lighter version finally released?

  Example: VMware-Fusion - 6.0.2 - 1398658-fire.dmg

  -----

  Note: there are two different versions of merge available for download: a version is complete is a larger file to download; the other version is marked 'light' and is a smaller download, but includes no VMware Tools .iso files for Linux or the McAfee AntiVirus Plus software.

  Article is not entirely accurate and I suspect that when "VMware Fusion 7.x" was added to "product version (s):" and other sections on the page it was the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing.  It is my understanding that starting with VMware Fusion 7 it will be only the image of an installer, without the image of com.vmware.fusion.zip.tar update Fusion.app from VMware downloads, "VMware Fusion 7 with VMware Tools for all operating systems (full Installation)" for example "VMware-Fusion - 7.0.1 - 2235595.dmg".  The AntiVirus is downloaded when clicking on ' Install McAfee AntiVirus Plus in the menu 'Virtual Machine', if desired.
