As shared back in April, the VMware Fling downloads will be migrating to the Free Downloads section within the Broadcom Support Portal (BSP) and this transition has just completed over the weekend. Going forward, any net new or updated VMware Flings will be published on the BSP.
To access the VMware Flings downloads or any other free or entitled software, you will need to register for a free BSP account, which does support personal email addresses (e.g. gmail, yahoo, etc).
Step 1 - Once you are logged into the BSP (https://support.broadcom.com/), select the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Division from the dropdown menu next to your username and then click on My Downloads and you should see a link at the very top pointing to the free software download link (https://support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/free-downloads)
Step 2 - You should see now see the Flings download tile which you can also directly access by bookmarking this URL https://support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/productdownloads?subfamily=Flings&freeDownloads=true
Step 3 - Once you click on the Flings tile, you should now see the list of available Flings you can download.
Note: Not all VMware Flings could be migrated to BSP due to various reasons: Fling maintainers no longer with the company, Fling is no longer applicable or Fling does not meet legal compliance by Broadcom. If you need to download an historical VMware Fling, you can try the Wayback Machine Internet Archive for VMware Flings (use at your own risk).
Thanks for the comment!
