Information Services & Technology (IS&T) will end support for VMware Fusion 3.x and Workstation 7.x effective immediately. The decision to end support for these applications was based on the following criteria:
- Availability of VMware Fusion 4.x and Workstation 8.x
- Performance improvements in Fusion 4.x and Workstation 8.x
- Security enhancements in Fusion 4.x and Workstation 8.x
MIT faculty, staff, and students can download VMware Fusion 4.x and Workstation 8.x free of charge from IS&T’s Available Software website. Installation documentation can be found in the Hermes knowledge base [ Fusion 4 | Workstation 8 ].
As a reminder, IS&T strongly recommends a three-year hardware-renewal cycle for all departments, labs, and centers (DLCs). This renewal cycle helps to ensure that machines are current enough to run the software recommended and supported by both IS&T and third-party vendors.
For further assistance installing or upgrading VMware Fusion or Workstation, please contact the Help Desk at 617.253.1101 or helpdesk@mit.edu. You can also submit a request online.
