Fusion 8.5 PRO Trial

Hi Team,

I am using Fusion 8.5 PRO Trial Version. I have built some VM Images.

My queries:

1. I am trying to buy license copy of Fusion 8.5 (not PRO). Will license key of Fusion 8.5 work on Fusion 8.5 PRO trial version? or do I need to download Fusion 8.5 and update a key?

2. Can VM's exported from trial version, works on another  softwares like vSphere or EsX?

3. Can I use VM's exported from PRO version to basic version without issues?

3. What is major difference between PRO and basic 8.5?

Thanks in Advance.

Yes, Fusion 8.5 license key can work on PRO trial version, you can input your license key from VMware Fusion in menubar-> Buy Now or Enter License.

2. Can VM's exported from trial version, works on another  softwares like vSphere or EsX?

Yes, you can select a VM in library and right click the VM, choose 'upload to server'. Notes: 1. This function only works for PRO version. 2. You must check your Compatibility in Settings per different ESXi version.

3. Can I use VM's exported from PRO version to basic version without issues?

No issues.

3. What is major difference between PRO and basic 8.5?

Some functions will only works for PRO version, e.g. connect to ESXi server.
