Workstation Player and Fusion Player have come to an end. These will no longer be possible to purchase, and existing customers will be able to upgrade to the Pro version, which includes more features, without paying any fee. We should also point out that VMware Player will continue to be offered as a package with Workstation Pro.
Existing customers with commercial licenses for Fusion Player 13 and Workstation Player 17 will be able to continue using the products without any changes. VMware recommends updating to Workstation Pro when these applications reach end-of-life.
VMware states that with the new commercial model, they have reduced the product group presentations for users who need a commercial use license to a single SKU. This simplification will make it easier than ever to quote and purchase VMware Desktop Hypervisor applications, Fusion Pro, and Workstation Pro while eliminating more than 40 other SKUs.
