Download VMware Fusion 11.5

VMware has released version 11.5 of Fusion. Fusion is to macOS what Workstation Pro and Workstation Player are to Windows and Linux. The program makes it possible to create virtual machines on an Intel processor equipped macOS machine. In this way it is possible, for example, to run Windows, Linux or Solaris alongside the existing operating system. In version 11 has added support for Windows 10 1803, macOS Sierra 10.14, and Ubuntu 18.04, among others. This update, which is free to anyone with a license for 11, includes support for macOS Catalina, a dDark mode, and support for Sidecar and Jumbo Frames.
