VM Ware incompatible

Hi I have a MacBook air (M1 2020) and I downloaded your free personal use license and I installed it, but I am getting an error saying "This version of VMware fusion is for intel based macs, but is being run on an apple silicon base mac via rosetta-2. see KB 84273" can you help me?

The message is exactly correct.  You need to use the Fusion Tech Preview for Apple Silicon.

Also, any of your existing x86-based virtual machines will NOT load/run.
