Hmmmm, you got me on that. Since I setup the applications a couple of years ago the workstations just run and I have to admit I've sort of forgotten some of the setup requirements. I recall doing a normal Windows XP install, which always asks for a product key, for each virtual machine and I used the keys from retired workstations that ran XP.

>>I use Windows Microsoft Virtual PC, and create a virtual machine running XP and XP mode to run old FoxPro for DOS SBT applications. Everything works fine, with hardly a hiccup. Cost of software is zero, assuming you use an existing XP license (which likely isn't a problem).
