In a recent development, Broadcom has announced that VMware Workstation Pro, which it acquired, is now available for free for personal use, with registration required on Support.broadcom.com. Previously, a license purchase was necessary for commercial projects using VMware Workstation Pro.
Furthermore, VMware Fusion Pro, a hypervisor for macOS, is also being offered for free for personal use. This move has resulted in the discontinuation of VMware Workstation Player and Fusion Player packages, as users now have access to the more feature-rich VMware Workstation Pro and Fusion Pro for free.
