Thanks I gave up after 45 minutes... They want so much information/cookies/tracking but even after changing browsers and (temporarily) disabling all security/privacy, I couldn't download.

  same - the register page doesn't work at all. I just gave up. If it worked for personal use I may have recommended it for work but as it is Parallels or UTM will be my go to choices.

Thank you. Every time anyone in the office had to go on their website, everyone knew from the groans, moans and thumps. It’s an abomination.

Alternatively, go there[0], click "Download now" under "Fusion 13 Pro for macOS 12+". Upon first launch, it'll prompt you to either enter a Pro license, try Pro for 30 days, or go straight to Player (still requires a free license key, obtained via registration).
