You can upgrade to a new version of Fusion in several ways.

Use these procedures to upgrade Fusion.

Fusion has a built-in software updater that checks for updates to Fusion and VMware Tools and downloads and installs the updates.

If you have an earlier version of Fusion, you can upgrade to the current version by manually downloading the Fusion disk image from the VMware Web site.

To continue using Fusion after using a free evaluation version or after an existing license has expired, you must purchase a license on the VMware Web site.

You can upgrade VMware Tools manually, or you can configure virtual machines to check for and install newer versions of VMware Tools.

Uninstalling Fusion does not modify existing virtual machines.

If your computer prevents you from upgrading or uninstalling Fusion, you might have to use the Mac Activity Monitor to correct the problem.
