Getting Started with VMware Fusion 9 Upgrade VMware Fusion If you are upgrading VMware Fusion, you do not need to uninstall the version installed on your computer. Installation and upgrade does not modify existing virtual machines. When you upgrade an existing VMware Fusion installation, make sure that all your virtual machines are properly shut down and that VMware Fusion is not running. To upgrade the application follow the same steps from "Install VMware Fusion." NOTE Upgrading to VMware Fusion requires a valid 25-character VMware Fusion serial number. If you do not have one, during installation click Get Serial Number on the Serial Number panel, which opens a Web portal where you can purchase an upgrade key. After upgrading the VMware Fusion, your virtual machines need to have their VMware Tools upgraded as well.
