Linked clones offer an even faster, simpler, and more efficient way to duplicate complex setups and run customized tests and demonstrations. A linked clone is a copy of a virtual machine that shares virtual disks with the parent machine, taking up significantly less disk space than a full clone.
  • Running Restricted Virtual Machines
    Create and control virtual machine policies and distribute applications to end users in a Workstation 12 restricted virtual machine container. Protect corporate content by limiting access to Workstation virtual machine settings such as drag-and-drop, copy and paste, and USB device connections. Additionally, virtual machines can be encrypted and password-protected to prevent unauthorized users from modifying corporate virtual machine settings.
    Workstation 12 Pro improves the performance of encrypted VMs during suspend and resume operations, delivering up to 3x faster performance compared to previous versions of Workstation.
  • Timed virtual machines
    For short-term projects, occasional collaborators, or software evaluation, Workstation allows you to create restricted virtual machines that expire at a predefined date and time. When powered on, the virtual machine queries the server at set intervals, storing the current system time in the restricted VM’s policy file as the last trusted timestamp. A time-limited virtual machine automatically suspends at expiration and cannot be restarted without administrator intervention.
  • Virtual Machine Compatibility
    Workstation 12 Pro ensures compatibility across the VMware product portfolio and multiple platforms. With Workstation 12 Pro, you can create virtual machines compatible with the entire VMware product suite or create restricted virtual machines that can be used in Horizon FLEX, Fusion Pro, and Workstation Player.
