VMware Fusion (macOS) or VMware Workstation (Windows/Linux) is available to students for academic use.
VMWare can be requested. Once approved you will receive an email with installation instructions, and an email from info@itacademy.brightspace.com will be sent to you with instructions to redeem your subscription to get access to the provided VMware products. Follow the instructions below to begin:
- Navigate to the VMWare Software Licenses Repository. Select the correct version of VMWare that you need by clicking “Request”.
- On the next screen, you will choose either “Login” or “Register”. Choose “Register” if you have not used the Chico VMWare licensing before. If you have, choose “Log in”.
- After registering or signing in, a button should appear to redeem your subscription. You should receive a confirmation once this is done.
If you run into any issues, VMWare has provided these additional instructions for troubleshooting license issues.
If you get an error stating “You do not appear to satisfy the conditions to receive this software license key” make sure that you are using the link from BrightSpace. If you do not use that link, you may experience issues when registering for VMWare.
