Download VMware Fusion

[YK Cheung]

I want to download VMware Fusion for personal use. However, I was prompted "site ID", does anyone know how I can obtain the "site ID"?

I am pretty sure it is a scam. I have tried everything to download that software and the when I finally got to the page - after two registrations and a LOT of searching (about an hour of my time gone) the download link is disabled. "Strange", "odd", and "completely accidental" I am sure.... riiiight. 

They think we're suckers.

Hi,
There only free versions are the ones for personal Use if you can manage to get to the download link.
Its hidden so well that the sun doesn't even shineDown there but i think I downloaded all the available software when I could...
It took me a whole hour at least just to be able toNavigate to or close to the link then I had to type in"Fusion" for it to pull the downloads....
Yep, a whole download section for VMware fusion ifYou can find it...
Remember, not free but free for personal use...
I have a paid version which is upgrade capable Because my system doesn't support the ones thatAre free for personal use from them...
Yep, they had a whole bunch of free ones as you Mentioned up till a couple of minutes months agoWhen all the download links were removed.
All you had to do was call them for a free license but of course there's no one you can contact - mySearch led me just to corporate number and that was all, and not even an email I don't think...,
You had to request a ticket just to talk to someone..
Coincidentally I just upgraded my computer about the same time and my version of VMware fusion had a bug which decommissioned it basically andVMware didn't have a patch for it since I was running mac osx Big Sur.., well known bug if you look it up...
Maybe it's just that version of mac osx which hadAn issue with the way it handled other software But I'm upgrading again and maybe I'll find something to run on the new version of mac osx I will be running....
Currently running "parallels desktop" now and really miss my VMware...,
Remember, the free for personal use is probably the only legit thing out there because they had real download links and I might try the ones i downloaded with my new mac osx just see... It's been several months now since this fiasco....
Thanks....
