Hi all
Someone can correct me on this but I thought recent versions of Os X;
the license states that up to two copies can be installed including any
copies running inside a virtual machine. If this is in fact illegal then
may I sincerely apologize in advance and say it was my total ignorance
on my part. Before I go I have also read that Fusion only allows recent
versions of Os X to be installed and run inside a virtual machine as per
Apple's terms.

Hi all
In recent versions of Vmware Fusion it is possible to create a virtual machine
running recent versions of Os X client and all versions of Os X server. To do
this:
1. In the Mac App Store Download the version of Os X you wish to run in your
virtual machine. If you can go for Mavericks but if not Lion and Mountain Lion
are supported. You can usually download these from the purchased section of the
App Store.
2. When the installer runs, do not continue but instead press command-q to
quit the installer. Failure to do this and the required .app file which you
will use later will be deleted during installation.
3. Now you're ready to create a new virtual machine in Fusion. So open Fusion
and press Command-N to run the new virtual machine assistant.
4. Choose to use an installation disk or image.
Note
You can also use the recovery partition to install Os X this way. This can be
found by first clicking the more options button. From this point on I will
assume you will be using the .app file for Os X you downloaded earlier.
5. When prompted select choose disk image... in the popup button. Locate the
.app file for Os X and press return to continue.
6. Since Fusion detects that this is an Os X installer all you need to do is
click finish button. You can also customize the virtual machine here by
clicking customize settings button. But I recommend you leave these alone for
now.
7. Start the virtual machine by clicking the startup button.
Note
For best results, please turn off VoiceOver on the host side. You can then turn
on VoiceOver inside the virtual machine to talk you through the installer and
to use Os X in general.
If you have any problems or questions with these instructions please give us a
shout on or off list. I'm saying this since I am new to virtualizing Os X
myself. Also note the above instructions assume you are using Fusion 6. Earlier
versions may therefore have slightly different results.
Happy virtualizing!
Regards Chris
