I have a issue with vmware version 10.1.6
last week i made upgrade of my macbook to ios catalina after the upgrade i have a black screen in my virtual machine!
I try some test but the virtual machine doesnt work.
i reed some comment about adding VMWARE in "System Preferences=>Security & Privacy=>Privacy=>Screen Recording "
I try to made that but that not work!
I made upgrade to 11.5.0 with free trial and now its work with 11.5.0 but i have only 30 days!
I made downgrade to 10.1.6 and now when im try to start the virtual machine i have a massage " new upgrade available " and its not possible to start the machine.
i uncheck update validation in general setting but i have always the same problem when i try to start the virtual machine.
see the picture!
i uncheck the update validation 2- i open my virtual machine and i have message about update validation
I click on ignore when i try to opthe the machine again the same massage appear!
i have a valid software key again for 447 days
thank you
Hi,
The hint is in the message "Cette virtuelle machine a ete creee par une version plus recente de VMware Fusion"
When you ran the newer version of VMware Fusion it upgraded the virtual hardware of your VM. That VM will not currently run under your older version of VMware Fusion.
In order to fix that, you have to go back to install VMware Fusion 11.x again, then change the virtual hardware on your VM (menu -> VM -> Settings -> Compatibility ) and change it to hardware version 14.
Then get back to VMware Fusion 10.x again and your VM should start, not sure if you won't get a black screen, but only one way to find out....
good luck!
