VMware Desktop Hypervisor products Fusion and Workstation are used by millions of people every day to run virtual machines on their Windows, Linux and Mac computers. They give users the ability to quickly and easily build "local virtual" environments to install other operating systems, learn about technology, build and test software, complex systems, browsers, apps, games, and more.

For many in our community, Workstation and Fusion are the first VMware products that they've ever used, and it's an important tool for understanding Virtualization as well as the fundamentals of vSphere. Going beyond that, commercial organizations get value from VMware Desktop Hypervisor apps for a number of reasons including development and testing of apps and systems and interacting with their vSphere environments.

As we complete the integration of Fusion and Workstation into Broadcom, I wanted to share with the community some changes to our product lineup and how we deliver them to our community.

Our goal with these changes has been to simplify how we bring VMware Desktop Hypervisor apps to market, while maintaining our support of the broader community of VMware Workstation and Fusion users of both free and paid products. So let's dig into this simplification and more importantly, what this means to you as customers.

Pro Apps are now Free for Personal Use and Licensed for Commercial Use
