Cancellation Vmware: Easy Method

What is Vmware

VMware is a software company that provides virtualization, cloud infrastructure, and endpoint management solutions used by businesses to run, manage and secure applications across data centers and cloud environments. Its product set ranges from hypervisors and vSphere infrastructure to desktop and mobile management (Workspace ONE/Horizon) and enterprise SaaS offerings managed now under Broadcom for many commercial agreements.

How to cancel Vmware

Cancellation steps depend on how the product was purchased. There is no VMware-documented consumer refund policy for purchases in Canada on VMware's site; for enterprise agreements now governed by Broadcom, termination for convenience is contractual and requires written notice plus simultaneous termination of related agreements and certification of deletion. For app-store purchases, standard Apple or Google Play store refund channels would apply if the purchase exists there, but VMware does not appear to offer standalone consumer subscriptions via those stores.

• Enterprise / Broadcom-governed agreements: Send written notice to usage.reporting@broadcom.com and prepare to terminate any related VMware/CA/Symantec agreements at the same time. After termination, delete or return all copies of the software and provide a written certification to Broadcom confirming deletion/return. Keep records of all correspondence and the deletion certification.
• Reseller or direct prepaid subscriptions: Contact the reseller or VMware sales/support contact used at purchase to request cancellation and ask for written confirmation of termination and refund treatment; follow their instructions for documentation.
• App Store (iOS) / Google Play (Android): If you were charged through Apple or Google, request a refund through the respective store’s refund process (see Apple or Google support). Note: VMware does not document direct consumer subscriptions via these stores for cancelation instructions.
• Registered mail recommendation: For enterprise termination notices and certifications, send a paper copy by registered mail (raccomandata A/R) to ensure proof of delivery and retain the receipt for your records. Address: VMware, Inc., 1122 International Boulevard, Burlington, ON L7L 6W6, Canada.

What happens when you cancel

After cancellation of an enterprise agreement, access to licensed software, updates, patches and support will cease according to the contractual termination date and the specific product terms. If you hold perpetual licenses with maintenance, those paid-up perpetual rights typically remain but associated support or subscription services end. For SaaS or cloud services, account access and hosted services will generally stop once the service term ends or by the termination date; customers are responsible for exporting and retaining their data before access is withdrawn. Broadcom requires deletion or return of software copies and a written certification confirming that step as part of the termination process.

Will I get a refund?

For Broadcom-governed enterprise agreements, customers are entitled to a pro‑rata refund of prepaid license, subscription, support, SaaS or cloud service fees; the refund is issued within 60 days after Broadcom receives your deletion certification. For perpetual licenses that included support in the initial term, customers retain the fully paid perpetual license rights and receive a refund for the unused portion of support/subscription fees. For consumer or retail purchases, VMware’s Canadian documentation does not show a standard 14‑day cooling‑off period; refunds for purchases made through Apple or Google will be subject to those stores’ policies. If you purchased through a reseller, refund treatment will depend on the reseller’s terms and your purchase agreement with them.

Your consumer rights in Canada

There is no VMware-specific statement on a 14‑day statutory refund for digital software on VMware’s Canadian site. Consumers in Canada remain protected by general consumer protection laws and contract principles; however, digital purchases often follow the terms agreed at sale and any platform rules (for example, Apple or Google purchases are governed by those stores’ refund processes). For enterprise customers, contract terms supersede general statements, and Broadcom-governed agreements explicitly define termination and refund mechanics. If terms are unclear, Canadian legal principles such as contra proferentem (construing ambiguous contract terms against the drafter) and statutory consumer protections may be relevant; consult legal counsel for binding advice on specific circumstances.

Customer experiences

User reviews are mixed. Some product reviews (for example, Workspace ONE on Capterra) show high satisfaction in areas like reliability, integration and device management, with average ratings near 4.6/5 in Canadian listings. Conversely, broader feedback about VMware under Broadcom management - seen on Trustpilot and community forums such as Reddit - reports frustrations with website usability, account or download issues, difficult customer service interactions, partner quoting delays, limited access to updates after support expiration, and aggressive licensing or renewal practices. These contrasting perspectives reflect strong technical capability in products but operational and support pain points cited by a segment of customers.

Documentation checklist

• Purchase invoice or receipt (showing SKU, dates and amounts)
• Signed contract or terms of service and any reseller agreements
• Account identifiers (customer ID, subscription or license keys, tenant IDs)
• Renewal notices and support expiration communications
• Correspondence with VMware, Broadcom or reseller (emails, ticket numbers)
• Proof of sending termination notice (registered mail receipt) and deletion certification

Common mistakes

Common mistakes include failing to terminate all related agreements simultaneously (Broadcom requires concurrent termination of VMware/CA/Symantec agreements for convenience terminations), not providing a written certification that all copies were deleted or returned, and neglecting to keep proof of delivery for mailed notices. Other errors are assuming App Store or Google Play refund rights apply to VMware purchases when the purchase was actually made through a reseller or enterprise channel, and missing or misreading contractual renewal clauses that automatically bill or extend services.

Comparative recap

After cancelling

After you cancel, confirm receipt of your written termination and deletion certification from Broadcom/VMware or your reseller and retain all confirmations and proof of delivery. Export any required data from SaaS or hosted environments before access ends, and maintain copies of invoices, contracts and the deletion certification in case of billing disputes. For store purchases, follow up with Apple or Google support if a refund was requested there. For further information or to submit enterprise termination notices, contact Broadcom via email at usage.reporting@broadcom.com.
