Can I make the upgrade pending from VMware 6 to 8 after purchasing a license?

I'm now considering to purchase an upgrade license of VMware version 8 from 6.

However, I cannot upgrade to 8 for some reason, and I have to use version 6 for a while.

Please tell me whether I can make the upgrade pending from 6 to 8  after purchasing the version 8 license, and use the 6 for a while.

Thanks.

When you purchase an upgrade license we require the original license you upgraded from.

Once the purchase is complete with Fusion 8 your license key for Fusion 6 is upgraded and goes away from the licensing area of MyVMware.

I would recommend purchasing your upgrade to 8 when you're actually ready to deploy it.

You can always check our the 15 day trial if you aren't sure if it will work for you.

You might even have found the perfect time to do so
