I know I could use VMWare Workstation Player, but as I write software for a living and expect to get paid, I try to buy stuff if its not ridiculously priced (looking at you SciTools). Anyway, years ago I purchased VMWare Workstation 14.0 and upgraded to 15.0 when it came out. I'm in the process of rebuilding toward a new laptop, and *everything* is getting segmented into virtual machines.
My question - VMWare Workstation 16.0 is out. Would you upgrade to just run the latest?
thx

I've been using VMware for 20+ years. My "strategy" has been to upgrade every other version as changes aren't usually that significant. Currently I'm on version 15 and I was looking to skip 16. The fact that VMware got sold to Broadcom and they are looking to switch to a subscription model gets me worried. I might get 16 just to be safe.

Oh f***! I did not realize VMWare had been bought and heading toward subscription. That will instantly end my relationship with them.

I only upgrade when I need it for some feature that is only in the new version. Mostly, they seem to take away stuff in the Linux versions.
Comment about subscription model: I have not heard that, but all software seems headed for that business model if they can get away with it.
IMHO: the only thing keeping the update model going is constant changes to the Windows OS

Every subscription model I have experienced has radically increased my costs. It's called renting vs. owning. I get why companies want to do it, but it prices me away.
Let's take Office for example... why do I need to subscribe to EVERYTHING when I only use 1% of what you are offering? That's a rhetorical question
SciTools puts out a great product for code analysis. They caught my eye, since they supported analyzing FORTRAN. Then they went subscription. The license I purchased I guess changed from perpetual to annual. My $400 one time expense went to over $1k annually. For a tool I use sporadically, no dice.
I guess I need to start learning Oracle Box.

I use the Windows version of Workstation Player to keep some archaeological O/Ses available (I use them once in a blue moon, but when I need them I really need them). The latest version supports Windows 11 VMs, but if you don't need that - I see no reason to upgrade.

Wouldn't Virtual box work for you?
I mean, I have been using VMWare for years and it's a very nice software, but lately I have tried Virtual box and it seems it is more than fine for me... and free (by now).

What works, works. To be honest, buried in life and real work. I tried VB, I'll be back to try again.

"Any VMWare Workstation users here?" going by my own experience, no. Have tried on at least 4 different occasions to get Workstation Player to do anything remotely useful. I can get a VM running, but it won't reliably talk to anything else - the internet, the host machine, the printer ... It's woefully slow and I can't get a sensible native resolution screen display out of it. On one iteration I did manage to get it running the drivers for my scanner (which won't run under Win10) and actually get it to scan a document. But that time around there was no way to get the resulting file off the VM and onto the host...

Interesting - completely polar opposite of my experience. I need predictability, VMWare brings that. I started with the MS Windows Xp VM they had to provide lest headquarters burned down. Moved on to VMWare.
