Since it is assumed running non-server Snow Leopard in a virtual machine is against the license, it would be a violation of the forum rules to give out instructions, if we knew them. Again a business decision, not a technical decision. But if you consider that every commercial virtual machine software vendor refused to load non-server Snow Leopard clients, that their lawyers looked at this very closely and decided it was not worth a law suite with Apple. We are NOT Apple, we are just Mac users, like yourself, so we are not in a position to give official statements. Is there any latest official statement from Apple or VMWare (not community forums) which allows/decline 10.6.3 on Fusion. I'll assume El Captain does as well, but it is unreleased software at the moment. With the release of Lion, the end-user non-server license explicitly allowed running in a virtual machine, and so does Mountain Lion, Mavericks and Yosemite. VMware Fusion will install and run that without complaint It should still be possible to get the Snow Leopard server DVD. Parallels and VirtualBox took the same position back when Snow Leopard was the current Mac OS X. It is not a technical problem, just a business decision on the part of VMware. So VMware Fusion knows you are not trying to run the server, and VMware is refusing to do it. ONLY the Snow Leopard Server license explicitly allowed it to be run in a virtual machine.

VMware interpreted Snow Leopard's original end-user license to NOT allow Snow Leopard non-server Mac OS X to be run in a virtual machine. I know this is more like VMWare community question but apple community (users) might help here too.
