VMware Offers Workstation Pro and Fusion Pro Free for Personal Use

Following Broadcom's acquisition, VMware simplifies its licensing by making its desktop hypervisors free for non-commercial users.

Users can now access Workstation Pro and Fusion Pro for free by registering on Broadcom's support portal.
The free versions are fully functional, with no limitations compared to the paid commercial versions.
VMware is discontinuing its Workstation Player and Fusion Player products as the Pro versions now cover their use cases.
Commercial users must still purchase licenses, available through Broadcom's authorized partners.
The move aims to streamline VMware's product offerings and licensing models.
