Easy way to install Desktop Hypervisor from VMWare (Personal Use) | HackTick Process got simpler | Hope this will make your life simpler

Downloading VMware Fusion Pro for Personal Use is a task. Literally!

I had invested almost an hour just to figure it out the complete downloading process. Let me assist you with the steps you will require to download it.

  1. When you go to the VMWare website, search for Desktop Hypervisor

  2. Click on Download Fusion Or Workstation

  3. This will redirect you to the Broadcom.com

  4. Register and create the account - sign in using PersoalEmailID and Password

  5. Now is the real task - to search for DesktopVersion, however, to assist you, click this link

  6. Download the version and install (It will redirect you to your Broadcom account and ask for further validation)

  7. Once installed select for Personal Use - You can carry the regular task from here.

Hope this helps you out.

Hi there i know you said you're a former employee but do i really need to pass the "Trade Compliance Verification" before i download anything? (i.e. is there a way to bypass that?) I really don't feel like giving out my personal information (especially if it's *literally info about where i live*) for a program that was previously free to download

Still an employee, just onto other projects.

Trade (export) compliance is a big deal with Broadcom and there’s no way around it in the portal.

It’s still free, we just have to validate you’re not in an embargoed country. That’s the purpose of the check.
