Is it possible to still buy Fusion 8.5?? (I have an older mac)

[jabblewokee]

I have a mac that isn't supported in version 10, but can't seem to find any legal (which is important) way of obtaining a version of Fusion 8.  Are there any ways to still purchase it?

Hi,

AFAIK you can downgrade your license after buying. At least that was possible in the past.

However I suggest you to contact sales before doing so.

Please go to: Fusion Support and open a ticket at File a Support Request

Wil is right.

Even better tho, a Fusion 10 key "just works" in the latest Fusion 8, so you don't even need to go to the MyVMware portal.

Thank you for that informaiton and for the direct links!  I submitted a ticket.

Apologies if I misunderstood, but are you saying to buy a version 10 license, but download the previous version and toss the license there?  If so, that would make sense, and thank you for that.

Hi,

Not sure understand your verbage of the word "toss", but yes Mike is saying that you can buy the Fusion 10 license and use it with Fusion 8, or to put it in another way, the Fusion 10 license is downwards compatible with Fusion 8.
