#VMWARE FUSION KEY LICENSE KEY#
Just before I do in fact challenge the purchase, I get an email from VMware telling me that my license key is ready.About half an hour passes, most of which is filled with me getting absolutely livid as I try to figure out how the holy hell to get a license key and debating preemptively challenging the purchase out of spite.But then Fusion launches…and wants a license key. After about 23958 clicks, I find that this is a common problem that’s usually resolved in “several hours.” I grit my teeth and hope that this does not mean what I think it means.
I check the “Manage Licenses” part of the site, since I know that’s where I find licenses for the copies of VMware Workstation we have at work.License key? The email I got has a customer number, which, now that I look at it, doesn’t match my actual VMware customer number. I’m taken to a page (with broken images) asking me for my license key, so I start to…wait. While I’m downloading, I click the link to register Fusion.I get an email confirming my order with a download link, so I start downloading.I then go through what I can only describe as the single worst purchasing experience I have had, ever. So I head on over to to make magic happen.
I’ll stick with a solution I trust over one that’s fast. I know Parallels Desktop might be slightly faster, but my friends assured me VMware’s plenty fast, it has Unity, it has 3D support, and I trust it due to using Workstation so heavily at Fog Creek. So when I decided to ditch Bootcamp and go the virtualization route for running Windows 7, VMware Fusion just made sense to me.
#VMWARE FUSION KEY UPGRADE#
They’re not perfect-the VMware Workstation updater and the Adobe updaters can go neck-in-neck for absolute single most horrible upgrade experience, for example-but in general, the products are stellar. They make awesome products, they have good support. So about a week ago I decide to buy VMware Fusion. We’ll have to see what happens over the next few months, but so far, VMware has convinced me that they get they have a problem and are going to try to fix it. Update: VMware followed up with me this morning, and has done a great job getting me help and outlining how they’re planning to address a lot of the complaints I’ve had.
