said<\/a> Broadcom VCF division’s product marketing head for compute and AI, Himanshu Singh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n“The paid versions of these offerings \u2014 Workstation Pro and Fusion Pro \u2014 are no longer available for purchase.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Singh assured customers currently under a commercial contract that their agreement will remain in effect until the end of its term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“You will continue to receive the full level of service and enterprise-grade support as per your contract,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The free version will include all the features you’ve come to rely on from the paid version. You’ll have the tools necessary to successfully complete your projects without compromise.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Customers with active support agreements will still be able to access support through VMware’s standard channels, including its support portal, and by contacting the support team directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Once your current contract concludes, you can continue using the product. However, please note that support ticketing for troubleshooting will no longer be available,” Singh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“All users will have access to a wealth of online resources, including documentation, user guides, and community forums, to assist you in making the most of your desktop hypervisor experience.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Singh said Broadcom was still actively investing in new features, usability improvements, and other enhancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Our engineering teams are committed to maintaining our high standards for stability, with timely updates and reliable performance,” he assured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“A broader user base enables us to gather valuable insights, helping us optimize our offerings and deliver even greater value.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
