vmware fusion player on macos sonoma is not exposing access to sharing option

[myusrn]

what do i need to do if i'm running the latest vmware fusion 13.5.2 on the latest macos sonoma 14.6 on iMac m1 and the virtual machine drop down menu for my windows 11 arm64 vm setup doesn't have a "sharing" option at the bottom or in the settings view?

i tried to download the vmware fusion pro for personal use install, to see if i could upgrade to that and then see this feature, but when i visit support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/productdownloads?subfamily=VMware+Fusion and select "vmware fusion pro for personal use" > 13.5.2 > HTTPS Download i just get a popup dialog stating "Account verification is Pending. Please try after some time."

later i found a search hit that talked about just removing a license file in order to switch from player to pro for personal use and that worked but still no folder sharing showing up.

Fusion 13.x (both Playerc and Pro) does not implement folder sharing for Windows 11 ARM VMs - documented restriction.
