Just like Apple Beta Software Program, VMware Digital Workspace also has a Beta program so you can thoroughly test all the new features and fixes of the relevant products before the general release. Through this post, I will walk you through the steps to:

• Sign up for the Beta program
• Access the Beta software

Before we proceed further, there are a few pre-requisites. The screenshot below from VMware describes them in further detail.

While this email suggests this is an invite-only program, it is actually open to all VMware customers.

If you receive an email invite from your account manager, go ahead and click on the link View this Opportunity. The email invite may look like this.

Or it may look like this.

You can also sign up for the beta program by visiting this link without waiting for an invite.

Interestingly enough, another confirmation email will be sent back to your inbox for additional verification.

Then, verify your email address from the email you receive from VMware.

Fill in your information and click SUBMIT.

Read through the VMware Beta License Agreement. Then, enter your username and password you created earlier and click I AGREE.

Read through the User Privacy Notice. Then, enter your username and password you created earlier and click I AGREE.

Finally, fill in the Beta Tester Profile. Based on your preferred method to obtain a beta build, additional information will be required. Click SUBMIT & CONTINUE when finish.

That’s it! Click CONTINUE at the next screen.

You should then receive two separate emails soon after.

Head back to Digital Workspace Beta Program Community at https://beta-ea.vmware.com/enter/ and log in with your email address and password.

Click CONTINUE to the following screens.

From here, browse and click on the beta you are interested in joining.

You can also adjust your account settings and preferences toward the bottom of the page.

Once you click on a beta product, click JOIN AS (your name).

Read through the VMware Beta License Agreement. Then, enter your username and password you created earlier and click I AGREE.

Depending on the beta you are participating in, you may begin testing right away!

You can easily confirm in the device details when you have the beta version instead of the production version installed.

On an on-going basis, you may also receive an invitation for the products you selected previously.

As always, stay mobile!
