Choose 'License' in the drop-down menu, enter the serial / license key and choose 'OK.
Alternatively, you can enter your serial / license key from the 'VMware Fusion' drop-down menu in the product. One of these days I may even decide to install a version of Linux on my mini. To license VMware Fusion, simply enter a purchased license key during product installation in the license key field. All in all, I think Fusion is a great product and worth the money. Using it, I have never had Windows lock up, and there have been no problem with display flicker, regardless of whether I’m running Windows in full-screen mode or in a window. My impression is that Windows “feels” snappier under Fusion than under Parallels - this despite the fact that I’m running Fusion on a mini, which is a slower machine than the iMac at work where I run Parallels. With this new code, Windows booted up without a hitch, and has been running well ever since. An automated voice read out a new code, which I copied down and entered into my computer. Although it was a bit scary to see XP “broken” - I had just paid $180 for it, after all - the reactivation process was relatively painless: I called Microsoft via a toll-free number and read the product code to their voice-recognition system. The manual warned that when installed this way, Windows would have to be reactivated the first time it was booted under Fusion.
The disadvantage is that you cannot suspend a Windows session. The main advantage to this arrangement is that the machine can be booted directly into Windows, bypassing Fusion altogether if need be. I have not been disappointed.īased on recommendations I read on the web, I chose to install Windows XP using BootCamp, then installed Fusion and set it to use the BootCamp partition. So when I purchased a new Mac mini for use at home, I decided to try VMware Fusion. Stay safe, healthy and have a great day.I use Parallels on my iMac at work, and have had a few problems with it: the display sometimes flickers when I’m running Windows, and once I lost the Windows partition altogether and had to reinstall. You all appreciated, especially the suggestion that worked and led me to this alternate method. Then I figured out that by simply renaming the destination VM, it would create an entirely new VM. The method worked but now I needed to convert the disk to thin provisioned. I found that the disk copied over as thick provisioned. I discovered this method while testing a method that one of you provided. It takes a lot longer than the vCenter convert to template and deploy from template, but it does the job.
When it's done, I have a new VM as well as the original that I "cloned". I just connect to my server with the app, choose the VM that I wish to "clone", give it a different name in the destination section, make sure I set the HD to thin provision (personal choice), then start to process. I also found that I can user the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone to essentially "clone" the base OS VM's that I've created.
