VMware Fusion 8.0
I plan to put VMware Fusion 8.0 on my new Mac Mini, so I can run an older version of Quicken for Mac 2006 R7. I have more than 20 years, the Quicken data files and I need to be able to access these files years every so often for the purposes of investment. Didn't like not all of the new version of Quicken for Mac, or any other software of finance personal I tested (they all seem to be cloud online version now), so I went back to the old version of Quicken, which is very stable for me (I just don't let it backup on my internal HD more).
All the old Quicken files and the program are on my Time Capsule and another hard drive backup external.
My old Mac Mini still works, but given that the OSX can not be upgraded beyond v. 10.6.8 some programs and Firefox work just not so well, and I was starting to think I have some security issue too.
I could get another monitor to the old Mini and not allow access to the internet, but it would still need to save every day at least to one of the external drives. Or, I could attach it to my current monitor along the coast the new Mini, using the D - SUB cable. I've never used the D - SUB connection, so not sure how good the view will be if two Minis share the same monitor. If I could afford to buy another monitor, I'd do it, but now, money is tight after the purchase of my new Mini and a new MBP for my daughter who is in College (his old MB was a 2008 model, no place to upgrade more, so it's very, very slow).
I read here that some people had problems of compatibility with El Capitan and Fusion, so I am wary of load on the new Mini. Are these problems solved?
When you read about the problems? If you're careful, you can try merge free simply go to their web site to access the free trial version. You can also use VirtualBox which is free. I don't think that you will have problems with the virtual machine.
Where you might have problems to run older versions of Quicken rather that perhaps in Quicken for Windows in your virtual machine running Windows or just the new version of Quicken for Mac without running a virtual machine. But I don't know much about Quicken.

Bootcamp Windows 7 cannot run by VMWare Fusion 8.1.0
I use MBP (13 "mid-2010) 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Nvidia 320 M 256 MB
That's what I did in chronological order
(1) improved my MBP to El Capitan 10.11.1
(2) my VMWare Fusion Pro 7 did not work - asked me to upgrade to version 8 to access my Windows 7 Boot Camp
(3) no choice... I had to upgrade to VMWare Fusion... fact to 8.0.0... my Boot Camp Windows could not always run... .deleted previous Virtual Machine... again added to select Windows in boot camp...
(4) does not work either... just got a free upgrade to VMWare Fusion 8.1.0... now the question is much worse... when I try to add my windows Boot Camp... That said:
" Volume the Boot Camp is not prepared to stand as a virtual machine. It seems that Windows don't is is not properly stopped the last time it was used.
"To shut down Windows properly, go to System Preferences > startup disk and set Windows as the start-up operation.
(5) tried to run windows to startup as suggested... says NO OPERATING SYSTEM FOUND... it seems that my windows boot file is missing?
Wait a second... (I don't know why I did... but I 'played' with the utility drive Partition and tried to expand my (not accessible) windows... between step 2) and 3) above
Ideas to solve my problem...
Appreciated. Thank you.
Step 1 has caused the problem. It may be easily fixable. Can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?
diskutil list
Cs diskutil list
sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0
sudo fdisk/dev/disk0
The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

I am running Windows 7 64-bit on an iMac with OS X 10.6.5 via VMWare Fusion. I installed the driver NOR-488. 2, but can not see my GPIB-USB-HS device. This post: http://forums.ni.com/t5/Instrument-Control-GPIB-Serial/NI-488-2-does-work-on-Windows-XP-Mode-within-... seems to indicate that someone else has had success; his problem was using XP Mode.
Anyone can shed some light on this? Can I expect the combination of the GPIB-USB-HS with Windows 7-64 on VMWare Fusion on an iMac to work?
I also have a USB-6215 is working well.
Thank you!
John-
I moved my virtual machine to an OS X 10.6.6 system and things did not work immediately. The GPIB-USB-HS was not visible to the MAX and in Device Manager it looks good, when when I open the property page, he says that there is no driver loaded.
I was able to get the GPIB-USB-HS working by choosing to update the driver through the Device Manager. The steps to do this are:
1. right click on the GPIB-USB-HS in Device Manager and select "update driver software...". »
2. Select "Browse my computer for driver software" and then "Let me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer.
3. you must be exactly a GPIB-USB-HS driver to choose. Select it and click Next.
4. once it finished, view the properties of the device and make you it is said "this device is working properly."
I did the same test for validating a single request with the device, but it seems to work.
Let us know if this helps,

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?

Sierra and VMWare Fusion 6.0.6 macOS does not?
I just updated my MacBook Pro (mid-2015) for macOS 10.12 "Sierra", and now when I try to start the Simulator BB10, it "just hangs" «forever» (at least as long as I'm patient enough to let stand at least 10 minutes, I'll try letting it sit UAB tonight) with the 'play' button displayed in the window of the program VMWare Fusion 6.0.6. By clicking on the 'play' button does nothing. When I try to quit VMWare Fusion, it again me, the Simulator is 'busy' and leaves me not even exit normally. I managed to force it to leave it in the Apple system menu.
Before that I pay to update my VMWare Fusion to the latest version, can anyone confirm if it (and the rest of the Momentics development system) will continue to operate under macOS 'Sierra '?
Thank you
Ed
Well, good and less good news.
Good news, I installed the trial version of VMWare Fusion 8.5.0 on my macOS Sierra system 10.12 and the BB10 Simulator (at least, the latest version 10.3.2.281) works and my application can run on it!
Less good news, it runs * very * slow.
No 1200% slow as the virtualiation equipment turned off, but still slower than it was before.
Just in case someone comes in the future on this issue.

Error Code 1606 when installing software on iMac running Windows 7 in VMWare Fusion
I get this problem when you try to install 3rd party software: Error 1606: could not access network location \\vmware-host\Shared Folders\Pictures\

Not sure if this is relevant - but when I open my computer, network location, 2 locations are shown: shared folders (\\.host) (y) and the files shared (\\.vmware-host) (z) -, which appear as disconnected network drives when you examine their properties.

BB10 Simulator square locked screen aspect ratio on VMware Fusion/Mac
Having a problem with the BlackBerry 10 Alpha Simulator Beta for VMware Fusion 10.1 Dev / Mac OS X 10.8.2. The Simulator screen is locked to a square aspect ratio and cannot be resized. I tried to make full screen, change the zoom, which extends through OS X window, and the virtual machine upgrade, but the aspect ratio remains. See screenshot below:
This makes it a problem with our Android app worn, which is completely chewed on that square screen. The entire half bottom of the app is cut off.
On VMware Player for Windows, the screen appears like a normal phone screen:
Suggestions for a report l / h correct phone on Mac Simulator?
It seems that you use different simulators.
Square one is for devices with physical keyboard. They have the screen resolution of 720 x 720. -
Don't know password for the new installation of Windows 7 Ultimate on VmWare Fusion
I bought Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and installed on my MAC OS X machine in VmWare Fusion of an image file provided by the seller of Windows 7. However, when I start the merger, there is a 'user' set up account, and it asks for a password. Typing in anything doesn't work, or 'guest', 'user' or 'password '. So I can't past the login screen.
What can I do?
That was my mistake, and I 'found' the password trying my MAC password. This was extracted automatically, or if I entered during installation without remembering, I don't know. In all cases, it is resolved.
I can't mark my own reply as 'Reply', nor can I delete this question :-(

Update license key OEM for vmware fusion
I'm moving from a windows7 (64-bit Home Premium) to a Mac Book. I want to import my old PC as a virtual machine using VMware fusion.
I am trying to determine what is necessary from the point of view license.
The original license is OEM so I think that it may have an update - is just a case of getting a new license key?
I tried the update by using the update at any time of mechanism, but this no longer works
How can I get the appropriate license change to allow me to get the installed virtual machine?
Thank you!

After that, get Windows 7 successfully migrated you will need to purchase a new license Windows 7 key (rightly underlined André Da Costa, OEM licenses are linked to all first computer, you install and activate Windows on).
You need to activate your migration to Windows 7 operating system with the new license key.
You don't need to reinstall Windows 7 when you migrate your operating system on a new computer through VMware.
