2024-04-21 Thread Maurice A. Mines

Hello everyone I have a amateur radio operator friend, who wants to switch from 
windows to Mac, this friend however is very concerned that if they pick using 
vmware fusion as the software to virtualize Microsoft Windows, that he will 
have to stop using" RT systems" handheld radio programming software. The reason 
why this might be a real issue is because this friend believes that one cannot 
use the serial port cable that that programming software requires any virtual 
machine under vmware Fusion. Is this true? I don't run being fusion on my 
machine so I cannot answer Friends question.

Here's hoping that someone on the list has the answer, to this question.

Re: VMware Fusion/Player

2024-03-01 Thread 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries

The issue is licensing Fusion. Some kind of license is required, and
this is arranged during the web-based back and forth that leads to
package and license file downloads. The free license simply isn't
offered as an option. Only paid options are offered.

I???m not entirely sure why because I did get the windows startup sound after

Are there any CPU options you could change, for example by allowing the 
VM to use all of the cores? I suspect this wouldn't work, but it would 
be worth trying any relevant configuration options. Otherwise, it's a 
VMWare bug report.


I'm so glad I've left the Windows world - at least for now.

Windows Insider and VMWare Fusion

2024-02-24 Thread Kelly Ford

Hi,

There is always that next wrinkle with this sort of stuff I suppose. As I think 
everyone knows, until recently VMWare fFusion wasn’t working right on silicon 
Macs and VMs would shut down immediately.

The most recent updates, at least for betas, of the Mac OS resolved that issue 
so now I can install and run a Windows 11 VM using VMWare Fusion.

The initial VM downloads an ISO for ARM from Microsoft and works.

Now though, when I try and join the Windows Insider program on the machine I’m 
told the PC doesn’t meet the hardware requirements. The failing item is the 
processor.

Interestingly, with Parallels, which starts with the equivalent ISO, I’ve had 
no trouble creating the VM and also joining the Insider program.

The processor itself between the two VMs ends up showing differently inside of 
Windows. They are configured the same in the two VMs in terms of what resources 
the VMs are using.

Has anyone else hit this and found a solution?

I was referring to the license for VMware Fusion.

That is what I was afraid was the case. I had run into this shortly
after upgrading to Sonoma last year. Was hoping it had been corrected by
now.
