Advice: Snow Leopard 10.6 as Guest OS?

Hello Team,

I'm looking to run Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard as a Guest OS in Fusion Pro 8.5.3. However, Fusion only goes back as far as 10.7.

Are there any tips or suggestions for getting this to work? I endeavored to find as much as I can online but most of it is dated to older versions of Fusion which at first glance supported 10.6 as a guest OS.

Please advise, thank you.

Hi,

You can install OS X 10.6, but only the server version.

The reason for that is that the license from apple does not allow 10.6 desktop version to be virtualised.
