  • 1.  Vmware Fusion Personal use License issue

    Posted Feb 07, 2025 05:15 PM

    Hi,
    I am trying to use VMware fusion 13.5.2 for personal use; the free version. But I'm facing a problem opening the app as it is states "Your subscription license has expired" I tried to talk to one of the agent but he/she routed me to post it here 
    Appreciate your help and support.

    First, shut down Fusion.

    See if there are any Fusion licensing files installed by running the following command:

    ls -al /Library/Preferences/VMware\ Fusion/license-fusion-13*

    If there are files found, remove them

    sudo rm /Library/Preferences/VMware\ Fusion/license-fusion-13*

    Then restart Fusion. The product should work (and should reflect licensing for personal use in the About VMware Fusion... screen). It's OK to use Fusion 13.5.2 in "personal use" mode for commercial purposes due to changes in Broadcom's licensing for Fusion announced last fall. It's just that Fusion 13.5.2 through 13.6.1 haven't been updated to reflect the new terms, while 13.6.2 is.
