VMware Fusion and VMware Workstation Pro for windows, Linux and Mac are now free for personal use and only need to pay for larger businesses…VMware is not focused on consumer market anymore as they’ve been purchased by Broadcom so there focusing on enterprise with the virtualization business being free for personal use. Official announcement years ago….there is NO difference between personal licenses and the business licenses one just authorizes use in larger corporations and the other for home use. No difference in features or development they are the same for both business and personal.
