Mac on Virtual machine????
Hi,

Is it possible to install a Mac O/S as an operating system in virtual environment.

For instance, create a virtual machine in vsphere using Mac O/S?

If so, what Mac O/S that is suitable to run on virtual environment? Is it resource hunger?

Many thanks

What happens next if in breach of license terms? Will they ever find out?
Avatar of Neil RussellNeil Russell🇬🇧

It is against the rules of EE to advise in anyway on how to breach the law.  

However you can run Vmware Fussion on a Mac and then virtualize in that with no problems.

No, it's against the EULA.

This is what the Mods have said...

Hybrid1969,

While we certainly admire our EE community when they are expanding their knowledge into relatively uncharted territory, we still abide by a rather clear-cut set of rules that help all of us avoid legal and/or licensing issues.  As a result, I am going to zero-out the points for this question and close it as a simple example of areas that should not be explored within our community.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
