Licensing policy for virtualization

Hi there,

I'm wondering how to expand MAC OS virtualization platform licensing. We have developer environment which run two virtual MAC OS VM's using VMware fusion latest version on apple hardware.

I'm aware for apple EULA - Run two additional instances on apple hardware.

How can I expand the license by buying software or hardware? From what I understand the only way to run six virtual machine is to buy three apple computers and three VMware fusion?!

OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Yes, that's right. On each Mac, two additional virtual machines are permitted on top of the one directly installed. You will need to buy more Macs if you want to run additional virtual machines.

Also be aware that the host OS has to be the same as the virtualized OS. For example, 10.10 virtual machines can only be run on a Mac with 10.10 running as the host OS. 10.11 or any other host OS is not permitted.
