Licensing for development machines

HI

I haven't purchased yet but am familiar with VMWare (just not Fusion). However, I am a single developer and have two (possibly 3) machines that I alternate between for development purposes. Do I need to purchase TWO or THREE licenses or does the Pro license cover this?

I have read a review that. said the Pro license includes support for three machines but was unsure.

Thanks

I suggest you search this KB article: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/80561

There are 2 questions which should give you your answer:

Can I use a single license on more than one Mac?

Do I need a Personal Use or a Commercial Use license to use Fusion 12 Player?

Your use case sounds "commercial" meaning 1 license needed per "Mac Computer" - either for Player or Pro depending on what features you need.
