Just be sure that if you are going to move them from one host to another that you always do it with a fully powered down VM and not a suspended one. </P><P></P><P>Also you may not want to upgrade the tools in the older VMs if you plan to move them back to the older platform there is a risk of hitting some sort of backwards compatibility issues</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 18 Oct 2006 22:36:42 GMT https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Fusion-Discussions/Support-for-legacy-VMs/m-p/1011471#M55037 admin 2006-10-18T22:36:42Z
