Announcing: VMware Fusion 12 and Workstation 16 Announcing: VMware Fusion 12 and Workstation 16 It is our pleasure and privilege to announce the upcoming VMware Desktop Hypervisor product lines for 2020: VMware Fusion 12, and VMware Workstation 16.Earlier this year we introduced vctl to push, pull, build and run OCI containers using Fusions award winning hypervisor stack, but now developers with Fusion or Workstation can use vctl to deploy Kubernetes clusters with newly added support for kind a tool for creating developer-defined local clusters using containers as nodes.The aim is to provide developers a reliable setup for establishing a rapid inner loop pipeline of development to build modern applications, or even when working on the codebase of Kubernetes itself.Fusion 12 and Workstation 16 will be available in VMwares Fiscal Q3 which ends October 30th.
![]() Dont want to wait Were still collecting feedback from our Fusion and Workstation Tech Previews) There are a lot of features and changes to talk about, so lets dive right in Say hello to Fusion Player Im excited to announce: VMware Fusion 12 Player. Vmware Fusion 11.5 Free For PersonalAnd, in alignment with Workstation Player, Fusion will be available with a Free for Personal Use license Fusion 12 Player replaces Fusion 11.5 standard, and follows the same pricing and licensing model as Workstation Player, meaning that it is both free for Personal Use, but requires a license for Commercial Use. Fusion Player has the same features as Fusion 11.5.x standard and more. Vmware Fusion 11.5 Mac But WantSo if youre a home user who switched to Mac but want to use Windows for things like DX11 games or other personal apps, you can do so, for free, with a Personal Use License. Fusion 12 Player also comes with our developer-centric container runtime and CLI, vctl, including the new capability to deploy Kubernetes clusters with KIND. And by popular demand from our customers with larger footprints, new commercial licenses for Fusion Player are now available for purchase from our Channel Partners with either 1 or 3 years of Support and Subscription, even if the order quantity is only 1. Customers at store.vmware.com can now optionally add SnS in increments of 1 unit as well. SnS provides major-version upgrades and active support engagement for the duration of the term purchased, at a fraction of the cost of a new license or per-incident support agreements. New Pricing for Fusion Pro on up to 3 devices: Even PCs The Workstation and Fusion products have undergone some big changes this year. Fusion 12 Pro now supports individual use on up to 3 devices which now include Windows or Linux PCs running Workstation Pro.

Upgrades for existing customers are reduced to 99, and both upgrades and new licenses (199) now give users the ability to use their license on up to 3 personal devices running either Fusion Pro for Mac, Workstation Pro for Windows or Workstation Pro for Linux. Updated Pricing for 2020 Technology Guarantee Program Weve also made changes to our Technology Guarantee Program.

Vmware Fusion 11.5 Full Advantage OfWith big changes happening at the deepest layers of the Mac Operating System, weve rearchitected our stack to take full advantage of Apples hypervisor APIs so that we no longer need kernel extensions to run Fusion on Mac making it more secure and ready for the future of macOS. Fusion 12 will fully support macOS Catalina at launch, and is ready to support macOS Big Sur once its made generally available. On Catalina, it runs the same way it always has: with our kernel extensions. On Big Sur, it will run VMs, Containers and Kubernetes clusters by using Apples APIs. Containers and Kubernetes For developers, weve added new features to our container engine CLI, vctl, while also making it available on Workstation for Windows.
