It normally costs about $70 at the Campus Computer Store, but it is available for free to business school students through the business school's participation in the VMWare Academic Program.
Non business students who do not qualify for the VMAP program can instead use Oracle VirtualBox software which functions in much the same way. Box is available for free for Windows, MacOS and Linux athttps://www.virtualbox.org/.
