Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get Genymotion Desktop free edition?
Simply select “Personal Use” when running Genymotion Desktop for the first time.
Please note that the free version has several limitations and technical assistance is not available (see section above).
Do I have to purchase a license after the trial period?
If you wish to continue using Genymotion Desktop for your personal use only, you can switch to the free version by selecting “Personal Use” when prompted after the end of the trial period.
However, you will then have limited features and technical assistance will no longer be available.
Can I run Genymotion Desktop in a server, virtual machine or VPS?
Genymotion Desktop has been designed to run on physical workstations: Servers, Virtual Machines and VPS are not supported.
Can I run Genymotion Desktop in a Cloud instance (AWS, GCP, etc.)?
No. Genymotion Desktop cannot run in a cloud instance.
However, we have developed our Genymotion Device Image for Cloud providers product especially for this use.
I have just installed Genymotion Desktop on Windows, and I get the error "Unable to start the Virtual Device"
Reboot your PC and try again.
If this does not fix the problem, please refer to this article from our help center: How to fix “Unable to start a Virtual Device” error?
I can't find Google Play Store
Google Apps are not pre-installed on the devices. You need to install the openGAPPs package to get Google Play Store and other Google Apps.
See Genymotion Desktop user manual for detailed instructions.
I can't find or install my app/game from Google Play Store
If you can’t find an app or game or Google Play Store, or if it says “Your device isn’t compatible with this version”, it may mean that the app or game is only available for ARM. For more details and instructions, please refer to this article.
Can I use Genymotion Desktop offline?
An Internet connection is mandatory at first run, to connect to your account and download the Android images when installing a new device.
However, you can then use Genymotion Desktop offline for 15 days; or more if you have subscribed to a Premium plan.

Genymotion Desktop 3.7.1
Bug Fixes
Genymotion Desktop 3.7.1 fixes a regression introduced by Genymotion Desktop 3.7.0.
The bug is related to Virtual Device deployment when installing Genymotion Desktop 3.7.0 for the first time, see the following summary to know if you have been impacted:
| Creating a virtual device worked | This situation is rare but may occur, especially on Linux systems. Install 3.7.1 and re-create your Virtual Device. Remove the folder of your Virtual Device located in the working directory at the time you’ve used Desktop 3.7.0. |
| Creating a virtual device failed | Install 3.7.1 and it will work. |
This bug only affects fresh Genymotion Desktop installs. You should not have any issues if you upgraded from a previous Genymotion Desktop version.
