Does anyone know if it is possible to obtain a personal use license for older versions of VMware Fusion? i have one for Fusion 13 but would like to be able to work with earlier versions of Fusion.
It should work with 12. Before that, there weren't personal use licenses.

That Fusion 13 license will work for Fusion 12.2.5 on Intel Macs running Big Sur or Monterey.. However Fusion 13 licenses on't work on Fusion 12.1.2 - which is the last Fusion version to support Catalina. In order for Fusion 12 to work on Catalina, you'll need to register for a Fusion 12 Personal Use license here: https://customerconnect.vmware.com/en/evalcenter?p=fusion-player-personal . I'd do it sooner rather than later because VMware could remove the ability to get this older license at any time.
As @ColoradoMarmot states, Personal Use licenses did not exist for Fusion versions prior to Fusion 12. That means no free options for those releases. VMware also doesn't make it easy to downgrade paid licenses past Fusion 12.
