You’ll be able interact with Windows applications like Mac apps: view them in Expose, in the Launchpad or Mission Control. I also tried to install earlier version of Mac OS and even Windows 10 but always get the same message.ĭo you have any idea or any suggestion ? I'm glad I did not buy it yet since I tend to doubt the real compatibility of the product. This is made possible thanks vmware fusion 64 bit free download the Unity mode view, which provides a fully integrated doqnload. But it still crashes with the same error on my MacBook.

I've tried to migrate the VM created on the iMac and to create a new VM from scratch using Apple MacOS 10.6 server installer. When I try the same process on the MacBook, I get an error (in French) that translates like this: "Fail to activate /Users/myuser/Documents/MacOSX.vmwarevm/Mac OS X Server 10.6 64 bits.vmx' The installation runs well on the iMac and the old Mac OS version is running smoothly. The version 12 is said to be compatible with both Big Sur and M1 chip. I've 2 computers : one iMac Pro running Big Sur and one brand new MacBook Pro with M1 chip also running Big Sur.

I'm new at VMWare Fusion, I've downloaded the trial version of Fusion Pro for Mac OS to run an old version of Mac OS (10.6 server). I'll have to find another way to run my old business application. No timeframe has been provided for the public release of VMware Fusion for M1 Macs, and pricing and upgrade options remain to be seen.Update : Ok, after some more digging, I finally understand that Fusion is not compatible with M1 chip for the time being. Earlier this year, VMware competitor Parallels boasted about the ability to run the Arm-based Windows preview on an M1 Mac with Parallels Desktop 16.5, but fine print notes that customers are responsible for making sure they are compliant with an operating system's licensing agreement.

Microsoft does not yet offer a retail version of Arm-based Windows, but a preview version is available to Windows Insider program members. In a blog post last April, Roy said "there isn't exactly much business value relative to the engineering effort that is required" to support Intel-based operating systems on M1 Macs, adding that VMware is "laser focused on making Arm Linux VMs on Apple silicon a delight to use." VMware Fusion will also not be able to virtualize Intel-based Windows or Linux distributions, while support for virtualizing macOS is not ready yet. We also ship components as open source, and that takes more time. our intentional decision to not fully support Windows is _entirely_ driven by the fact you can't actually run Windows on ARM on a Mac and still be in compliance with their EULA.
