ET: Kelly Ford posted the instructions I followed successfully to get an unrestricted individual user license and a copy of Fusion 13 at no cost. Quoting his email from May last on this list:
From: Kelly Ford <kellford1...@gmail.com> Hello, Assuming you have created an account, I believe this link will take you to the Fusion Pro for Personal use. https://support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/productfiles?subFamily=VMware%20Fusion&displayGroup=VMware%20Fusion%2013%20Pro%20for%20Personal%20Use&release=13.5.2&os=&servicePk=520445&language=EN Please note, the first time I downloaded this, I had to use a button that said additional screening required and then provide my address and agree I wouldn???t use the software for such tasks as weapons creation or export it +to restricted countries. I was returned to the form and the button was then a download button.
