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 VMware Fusion
To upgrade the application follow the same steps from “Install VMware
Fusion” on page 8.
After upgrading the VMware Fusion, you must upgrade VMware Tools on
your virtual machine.
To upgrade VMware Tools
The first time you power on your Windows virtual machine, it offers to install
VMware Tools. Approve that, and when the Tools installation is done, restart
the virtual machine when prompted.

OTE Upgrading to VMware Fusion requires a valid 25-character VMware
Fusion 3 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.
