This page has both links.
vSphere is a hypervisor. It's also not free anymore. https://blogs.vmware.co
Then, you can use the link I provided above to get to all the vmware software, locate the vmware workstation pro section there. When you click on it, it will have links to Workstation Pro downloads. There are two download links there for Windows and Linux marked "Free for Personal Use". Click on your link. It will force you to certify you are a resident of the US and that you will not export the software. Once you have done that, you can start the download.
Here is the Workstation Pro 17 blog with download links as well:

1. They are only interested in the business of the company's top 100 customers. All the rest could go to hell for all they were concerned.
2. They would refuse to do any single transaction that was under $100K. This mean small / medium and even some large businesses would not be able to transact their renewals and were left stranded without appropriate security updates.
3. They were extorting any of the large customers who were considering leaving Symantec, telling them if they were going to cancel the contract then Broadcom would also refuse to renew any other technology they relied on. Most of these largest enterprises have multiple products owned by Broadcom and it's very difficult to extract themselves from all of them simultaneously.
Needless to say, I quit as soon as possible.
I am now recommending they pursue other options. Any company that operates out of China 🇨🇳 by definition is CCP controlled. Broadcom is that company.
We need to rip out any Broadcom and VMWARE and anything that has ties to Xi's #NewAxisOfEvil BRICS who intend our demise and the furtherance of global communism by any means by 2030.
Chinese people are not bad. CCP is flat out evil. Killing Christians, Muslims, Tibetans, missing Hong Kong 🇭🇰 freedom protesters 🪧, burning 🔥 places of worship and books 📚.
We need to severe any ties that benefit CCP and BRICS (recently announced BRICS Digital Currency they plan to use to replace the US Dollar as the global currency standard), note they have a Chinese equivalent digital currency that can only be accessed via weekly digital checkins in "House of Xi" only worship allowed there now….and why 1.2 Billion Chinese people starving…unwilling to bow the knee to Xi. So when I say bad, not kidding.
US Senate hearings March '24 US Spacecom revealed China 🇨🇳 plans to increase their nuclear ☢️ weapons arsenal by 500% by 2030. Think good intentions there?
Like I said, huge VMWARE fan and have used these and many other products and recommended them. But perhaps 🤔 now we need to go back to a new solution never allowed to be exported or purchased by CCP. 99.99% malicious traffic CCP and BRICS related for those like me who have setup and monitored firewalls.
AI generated answer about vMotion: Proxmox has a feature called Live Migration that allows users to move running virtual machines (VMs) between physical hosts with minimal downtime. VMware's equivalent feature is called vMotion.
Best of luck with the research. I think the community on reddit is pretty active.
EDIT: I should mention that the cool thing about how proxmox is handling migration lets you add vmware nodes directly to the list of virtual environments (pve's). From there, you can do live migration.

Sign up for an account - which takes forever. Go to the downloads list, select one to download, wait for it to load. Have to authenticate that you're in the US and agree not to export - which also takes forever. Then it says there are no downloads. Go back to the original download list, select to download again, wait again. Click to download the file, wait, and wait... and wait...... and... "Something went wrong. Try again."
It feels like this Oatmeal comic: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/game_of_thrones
Reason we were told no bonuses this year
Man get out of there If your company can't model software/it service cost increases and have to take the increase out on you. My component in my company spends 37 million on software/it contracts and have projected expenses over 150 million in 5 years time to keep up with usage and costs.
"Something went wrong", error in JSON, etc. Finally it started. Then I realized that I have 4 versions of the same file already downloaded. Go figure...

My advice: Do yourself a favor and wait. The download isn't going anywhere unless you planning to earn a degree in watching Broadcom pity logo
