VMWare Fusion 5 Professional License Key??? WTB!

I am looking to purchase 15 or more VMWare Fusion 5 Professional License Keys.  I have tried literally everywhere and VMWare has removed the ability to downgrade from 8 to 5 from the key manager.  Does anyone have some old keys that they can offer for sale?

Thanks!

Hi Ryan,

Try calling VMware Support. If it is not on the website, it doesn't mean they can't do it.

FWIW beware that Fusion 5 will not work on El Capitan and as it is a bit long in the tooth, not sure what OS X version it does work well on.

Thanks for the advice, Will. I have already tried the support channels and they were more or less unhelpful. I was sent here to try to get license keys on the "grey" market.

The the product these go into is going on an aircraft and runs Mountain Lion. We pretty much have to use Fusion 5 or spend ~$50k  or more upgrading everything.

Do you mean you need a Fusion version which can be launched in Mountain Lion?

If yes, you could try Fusion 7.1.3 with a license key of Fusion 8.
