I somehow got hold of the Install macOS Beta.app, so instead of doing the upgrade via the beta profile, I created a.dmg file for my VMware Fusion and used it to create a virtual machine from scratch. Now, regarding the disk size – I’ve put 50 GB instead of the default 40. VMware Fusion 12.1.0 (for Intel-based Macs) File size: 623.36 MB. Information about MD5 checksums, and SHA1 checksums and SHA256 checksums. The VMware Fusion 8 Software Update window should appear. If it doesn't, you can also trigger the window by prompting Fusion to check for updates. If the update option just doesn't work for you. Open the.dmg and install Fusion Player 12. NOTE: VMware Fusion 12 requires macOS Catalina or newer. Once complete, open the application and you will be prompted to enter in the license key. When you first start VMWare Fusion you will get a Select Install Method Screen.
