VMWARE Fusion Personal Use Licence

[max2022]

Unfortunately, it is not possible for me to obtain a free private license. Whenever I try to register me for the product, I only get a loading bar when I submit the form. I have tested the following browsers (on Mac OS):

• Safari (normal and private windows tab)
• Edge (normal and private windows tab)
• Chrome (normal and private windows tab)

I cleared all cookies and I don't use any Plugins (like Add-Blocker..). Can anyone help me with this problem? Apparently I'm not the first to have problems with the site.

This does not look like the registration form for the free personal use license. There is a link for “free trial” on the bottom of the page. The personal use license is not the same as the 30 dat free trial. 
what is the URL you are using to obtain the personal use license? You should be starting here 

https://customerconnect.vmware.com/evalcenter?p=fusion-player-personal

wher it will first ask you for a VMware account.

 I used your link and logged me in (again). Then i tried it with both 'Register' Options on this page. First the blue 'Register' Button on the bottom and then also with the 'Register here' in the right upper corner. Same with the result that the page shows only a loading bar after I hit the submit button.

I also cannot register personal license. Tried multiple browsers and solutions. How can I get a personal license key?

I have tried also to download WMware Fusion 11.5 for an old Intel MAC. What does one have to do to obtain a personal license. I have jumped through all of your hoops. Followed the instructions provided on the various community pages to no avail. I know this thread is 2 years + old but so is my MAC

Short answer:

If you're running on a Mac version that doesn't support Fusion 13.5.2 or later, there's no way to get a personal use key from Broadcom for older Fusion versions.

Longer answer:

VMware didn't have a free personal use offering for Fusion 11. The free personal use started with Fusion 12.  You had to register on a web site to get the free personal use license key. 

I use the past tense in that last sentence because the web site to register for free personal use licenses no longer exists. Broadcom/VMware made changes in Fusion product licensing earlier this year. They stopped offering perpetual licenses for Fusion (and Workstation) and switched to subscription licensing. They still retained a free personal use offering, but changed the product starting in Fusion 13.5.2 so that personal use licensing was built into the product (no web site registration needed). At the same time they removed the web sites that they used to deliver personal use license keys (no longer required).  They did not go back and retro-fit this to older Fusion versions. 

Which may not do you any good, because the newer Fusion versions may not run on your old Intel Mac.  See https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/315635/supported-host-operating-systems-for-vmw.html for the Fusion host operating system compatibility list.
