Can't be done.

You can however create a new VM and use Time Machine or Migration Assistant to migrate apps and data.

So you mean... when install Fusion can creare mac new vm inside Fusion by diwnload macOS image from within Fusion automatically?

Fusion 8 is for 3 Macs??

Hi Ise,

Here is a KB about Fusion 7, Installing ESXi in VMware Fusion (2009580) | VMware KB, hope it is helpful for your question.

VmWare ESXi free version run also inside free Vmware Player 7.0.3... ?

Well

Hmm... maybe.

Technically it might work, but VMware Player does not have any options for you to create a VMware ESXi virtual machine.

If you select another guest OS when creating it then your ESXi VM will be crippled if you can even get it to run.

To get past that you either have to create the VM in another VMware product or hand-edit the vmx file.

VMware workstation has support for ESXi based VMs as has Fusion.

This is all assuming that I understand your question as it is a bit unclear and besides that you are asking it in the wrong forum (this is the Fusion forum, not the VMware Player forum, nor the nested Virtualization forum)

The technique is valid across releases, VMWare Fusion and OS X
