I have been using Fusion for a long time and, as others have said,
copying a virtual machine from one computer to the other has no impact.
Now if I have that same virtual machine running concurrently on multiple
physical desktops, the Windows license manager might get upset that it
sees the same license number multiple times on the network. In my case
my windows instances were installed using site licenses so this was not
a problem.

Simon, you're talking about virtual box. That maybe so but I was talking about
VM fusion. Maybe things of changed and later versions of fusion but when I try
to do that it blew out all the licensing including the OS and all of the
software.

But you can copy and paste the vm machine files on to another machine and it
works fine.
I've been doing this with virtual box at work, makes life a lot easier to
create one machine and move it to multiple mac machines

Subject: Re: Which virtual machine software is accessible?
Nickus, the short answer is no. The virtual machine is tied to the hardware
signature of the device it was first installed on. This is done to control
licenses etc. I tried running a VM on another machine once and all the licensed
software failed requiring new licensing. This meant a new license for the
operating system as well as for the Jaws synthesizer software. Also office
suite required relicensing. The only way to run a VM on another machine that I
am aware of is through the import process. When first opening the virtual
machine into a new machine, virtual machine will ask if you want to move or
copy the VM. If you select move, all the licensing is transferred over and will
only now work on that new machine. If you select copy you will get just that,
a copy, but it will not run properly on the new machine without relicensing.
Also, don't forget, the VM can grow to in the neighborhood of 30 to 60 GB. And
I don't know if you have that kind of iCloud storage account, but I sure don't.
In fact I have set my Time Machine to exclude that particular virtual machine
folder so as not to clutter up my disk. Instead I simply manually copy the VM
off onto a storage disk

You can share images and copy then but I don’t think you can run them in

If using VMware to create a virtual machine it would be stored in my documents
folder which gets synced up to iCloud. Would I then be able to run the virtual
machine on both my iMac and Macbook since iCloud will sync it to both?
I guess I would just have to install VMware on both machines?
Thanks

+1 on VM fusion. I hear parallels has recently become accessible but no idea
first hand. VM Fusion does everything I need and I’m a heavy user of
parallelization software.

Hi
The most accessible VM software is vm Fusion but there is a price for it.
If you are only going to use the windows machine only once an a while then I'd
recommend eiter Virtual box which is free but not as VO friendly as fusion,
Or install the windows OS into bootcamp and switch between them when you need
to access windows.
The only problem with bootcamp is that you can only use one os at a time,
With fusion or virtual box you can run the mac os all the time and open the
windows vm when you need it just like an application.

Subject: Which virtual machine software is accessible?
Hi all
I want to put Windows 10 on my MBP for very occasional use and because I have a
quad core i7 with 16 GB RAM, I think it will be fine if I run a virtual machine
rather than Bootcamp.
Which virtual machine software is most accessible for use with Voiceover and
easiest to use?
