VMware Fusion Public Tech Preview 22H2 Embedded license expired on installation

Just registered for a public preview and downloaded it, but the license is expired already during installation. 
Getting a free license key requires company information and a phone, which I don't have, as an individual.

What should I do?

Correct - the tech preview ended when the Fusion 13 product went Generally Available, last Fall of 2022.  Obtain the release version of Fusion 13.

Thank you 

Could you please explain how can I get free home-use version of the software?
https://customerconnect.vmware.com/en/evalcenter?p=fusion-player-personal-13 Sends me to fill in company information and then there is only a "Start free trial" button on the "Accept End-User License Agreement" page 😞

It is a bit nonsensical to ask for this information for a personal use license. But they do  

Fill in the information requested with anything. I used things like “none” (it doesn’t have to be real). It’s not verified.

And then check the box to accept VMware terms and click on the button for Start Free Trial.

Thank you very much for your clarification. It is indeed strange to ask for such information while providing personal use license

Looks to me like a standard form that is used for other things too, nothing more sinister than that.
