While there might be some gesture to do that, holding down the control key and clicking is the same as a right click. CB On 7/24/17 3:09 AM, Ramy Moustafa wrote: Thanks so much Dear, and the right click sorry? On 7/23/17, Anne Robertson wrote: Hello Ramy, You can

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
