    Hello, 

    i am keep trying for few days now to find a way to buy the license to be able to use on my work computer but cant find any link to official store or even reseller. 

    even the link from the application itself to buy a key send me to cloudvista which is down since few weeks ago.

    any advice how to buy the license ? 

    Thank you in Advanced :)

    About a month ago, Broadcomm issued statement that Workstation Pro and Fusion Pro were now free for all users, whether personal or commercial.  So I'm sure you can't purchase a license any longer.

    @Mohammed Baraka,
    As per recent announcement, VMware workstation is free for all purposes, but product release for that announcement is still in the pipeline.

    Please note, you will have to select 'personal use' for now to avoid entering license key. However, the Broadcom teams are working on taking out this option and updated product will be shipped in a few weeks.

    Also, note that the this change is applicable from 'Workstation Pro 17.5.2' and 'Fusion 13.5.2' version and onwards.
