# Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
|
|
## Q: How do I use the VMware Fusion Tech Preview?
|
|
|
|
The Vagrant VMware utility expects VMware Fusion to be installed in a specific
|
|
path on macOS. Since the VMware Fusion Tech Preview installs into a different
|
|
path, the Vagrant VMware utility will fail to detect the installation and will
|
|
not start. To resolve this you can create a symlink from the VMware Fusion
|
|
Tech Preview installation path to the normal VMware Fusion installation path:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
sudo ln -s /Applications/VMware\ Fusion\ Tech\ Preview.app /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Q: How do I upgrade my currently installed Vagrant VMware plugin?
|
|
|
|
You can update the Vagrant VMware plugin to the latest version by re-running the
|
|
install command:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-vmware-desktop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To upgrade the Vagrant VMware utility, download the latest version from the
|
|
[Vagrant VMware utility downloads page](/vmware/downloads) and install the
|
|
system package to your local system.
|
|
|
|
## Q: Do I need a license for the Vagrant VMware plugin?
|
|
|
|
No, the Vagrant VMware plugin has been open sourced under the MPL. A license
|
|
is no longer required for using the Vagrant VMware plugin. If the plugin you
|
|
are using still requires a license, simply upgrade your plugin:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ vagrant plugin update vagrant-vmware-desktop
|
|
```
