I discovered a few days ago that VMware now offer a 'Fusion 12 Player', which is free (as in beer) albeit you have to register to get the download + key. Might be worth looking into that?
The link for that is here [0].
The only thing I would add to that is to use a private browser session.
Also as a tip fill in "None" for business name, if you are using it privately - as it is a required field for some ffing reason.
But yes, the free VMware Fusion Player works fine.
Good to see you're still knocking around these parts!
Hope you are doing well.
