I own Windows 7 Ultimate and have installed and activated it. Now I want to run a VM with Window 7. I installed the same on on the VM and now it is trying to activate and tells me i have 21 days left.
I thought VM OS was covered under the EULA for the original OS? ? Does MS expect me to spend $300 for an OS for every VM I crank up, run for a while and then blow away? I am on the same box with the same NIC just testing MS Beta software. I have a backup of the VHD /VMS of course from right after I got it all set up. Do I have to blow away every 29 days and restore or what? Can't they tell I"m running in VM when i go to activate???

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
