Several years ago, I bought a laptop that, of course, had a legit license.
Since, the laptop died and switched to another laptop using a WPA crack.
Yeah I had this fun recently myself. MS insists that I call ACER for the new activation code.
Now, using the same install CD, installed it in VirtualBox along with the same WPA crack.
Since MS hates this thought, is there a way to run on both platforms without a crack program and without pay for a new license.
It's different with laptops that grey box systems, I've transferred my WinXP-Home license 3 times and MS had no problem with it being a dead hardware (cpu/mobo) issue. THe laptop was a different thing, they said to call the Manufacturer and get them to issue a new code, that might be what you need to do.
In my old mainframe world, you could get a generic product key that would allow the packages to run in a VM machine.
I have done a lot of Googling to no avail on this subject, so I thought I wold go to the source and ask this list.
Thank you in advance, Duaine
