These run on an existing OS and provide virtualization services.

vSphere is a hypervisor. It's also not free anymore. https://blogs.vmware.com/cloud-fo...-services/

You have to register for the support portal as shown above. You do not have to create a profile.


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:

I have been looking and all I can find are references to the VMWare store which has been down for 2 weeks.... I know the announcement was just made but you would think with how much Broadcom has ticked everyone off recently they would have at least had this worked out....

How does this differ from vSphere, which is already available for free for personal use?
