Derive COA key used in VMware

I used a key COST to active windows 7, which is installed in VMware (virtual machine), and I can't use VMware, can I deduct the COA key and using it to install windows 7 on a physical PC? If so, can he activates online? Or I have to go through the activation of the phone and explain what will happen to the representative? Thanks in advance.

If the COA key belongs to the physical PC hardware he came originally with.

Therefore, if Windows 7 is initially supplied with the computer, but you then transferred the license to the Virtual Machine.

You may need to reactivate by phone:

  • Copy (cloning) a key USB of VMware ESXi

    Hi all

    I have a question about the copy of a key USB VMware (a USBkey VMware is an IBM option (in fact, any major brand for that matter) supported). Lack of VMware ESXi 5 from a USB key using the UEFI. Recently the USB has renounced us, so we reinstalled VMware ESXi5, installed updates and set up the latter again and everything works again fine, but to save time to stop in the future we would like to keep a copy of the USB on the tablet. Is there an easy way to easily copy this USB?

    The following would work? :

    1. stop the server

    2 boot from a Linux live DVD

    3. Insert the USB source

    4. Insert the USB of destination

    5 open a terminal

    6. start: If dd \u003d/dev/sda of = / dev/sdb (after checking admesg | grep like command course)

    7. shut down the pc when done

    8. replace the USB source on the server

    9. starting the server

    Is there anyone who has any experience with this?

    Yep - that should do it

  • How to check what database is used by VMware Virtual Center?

    Hello

    I recently inherited a small environment and I was asked to upgrade ESX 3.5 to ESX 4.0. I'm not a person from the database, but how can I check what database is used by VMware Virtual Center? According to the guide to upgrade the MSDE database is not supported in ESX 4.0.

    I want to just make sure that we did not use this database. I looked in the ODBC Data Source Administrator. Thanks to the system DSN, I saw that the drivers for Vmware Update Manager and Vmware Virtual Center are "SQL Native Client". Also registry editor, I watched HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> SOFTWARE-> VMWARE, INC.-> VMware Virtual Center-> DB. Data on 'Vmware VirtualCenter' next to '1' and '4' is set to "SQL Native Client".

    So, how can I determine if the database used is not MSDE?

    Sorry for the stupid question, but I'm not so much with the databases...

    Thank you.

    Den...

    > So, how can I determine if the database used is not MSDE?

    MSDE does not remote databases.  ODBC Open, click System DSN, click Configure.  The listed database is that it uses, and if that is the name used for virtual center, this is the database in use.

  • Best Linux o/s to be used for VMWare Server 2

    Hi guys,.

    What would be the best Linux o/s to be used for VMWare Server 2 and why?

    Are there known traps or other questions that you may have experienced with some operating systems.

    Thanks for the comments.

    I don't know about the 'best' that I only use openSUSE x 64 but I find it incredibly stable and reliable, especially when compared to a lot of Vista (out of production). Image single with 8 GB disks and non - RAID SATA with usually about 10 virtual machines running constantly. CentOS and Ubuntu seem to appear a lot here, but that could be wrong, since people in general do not post when things are working very well. Fedora seems to have arisen recently with more than its share of problems.

  • A product key from an old computer can be used for vmware fusion on a new mac?

    We used to own a Dell computer with windows XP Professional OS. Lately, we have switched all of our Mac computers and no longer use the old windows computer. I have the product key for this OS and I was hoping to use the CD of windows XP on VMware fusion and relocation (in order to play video games). So far, the installation was almost a success until it would not accept the old operating system product key. Is there a way to get a new product key?
    PS The only purpose is for the PC games we have.

    can I get another free product key? I still have the old computer

    you need to know if the old pc had an O E M version of windows, because

    windows OEM versions are locked to the motherboard of the PC they where first installed at.

    If the product key you have is from a version marketed Windows (non oem) you can install the version on another pc if you take away the first pc.

    in other words, a version on a pc at the same time.

    You should check with the microsoft Web site dealing with pirated software and product keys.

    Hello

    I suggest you remove the hard drive of the machine and then connect the hard drive to another computer. In doing so, we could save the files together to the other computer or on an external drive.

    After you back up essential files, you can go ahead and run the Sony restore to restore the computer. The backup files can be restored to the original computer.

    I hope this helps.

  • Vocals and guitars/keys using multiple output

    Hello

    I intend to play a CONCERT with MainStage 3 this weekend, and I'm trying to find a way to make it work. I sing and play on the keys or on guitars. I add a few effects on channel strips in the. I know I could put just outputs of the channels output material, but this will not cause me not to hear anything.

    If question 1.
    Is it possible to send a string to two independent outputs? for example 1-2 (as my monitor) output and 3-4 for the console?

    If not, question 2
    The other way, I'd do is just send it to THE then set out ancillary differently. Then the question would be - how to send it to the pre fader? So change me the volume will not affect what I'm doing on front

    If you like my so that you got through questions, there is another question asking why my voice sounds like the choir in my ears (as if there are two entrances with a latency, when there is one) I posted it yesterday, but nobody answered yet

    Hello

    "I know I could put just outputs of the channels output material, but this will not cause me not to hear anything."

    Why you say that? Who should produce sound...

    But let´s okay focus on your question.

    Use option 2 - create a channel at concert level and name such as keyboard and output than your 1/2 material on and do as well send you want.

    To choose the post pan, fader pre or post fader, just wait click in the shipment, and the options displayed.

    Hope this has helped you.

  • USB key used in iMac unrecognized by any other device

    Hi all, I recently encountered a problem using USB keys with my iMac 2010 10.11.3 running OSx.

    My iMac will recognize UBS sticks and allow me to save documents and files for them, but when I insert into any other device (e.g. a few friend PC and Macs, professional printers to Officeworks etc.) the USB stick is not recognized and does not see the same on their system.   Then when I insert the USB in my iMac, it is recognized immediately as well as its content.

    Before that, I was able to share files and documents with family, friends and clients on USB with no problems at all.

    I tried a variety of different USB keys (old and new) and what is happening to all of them, whatever the brand, age, size, etc.   Is produced only for a few months and at first I was in denial and thought that it was my friend PC, but now I see that it is certainly a problem with my iMac.  He may have started happening around the same time that when I upgraded to IE Captain earlier this year.

    Any ideas please?

    Thank you.

    The fact that this happens with different computers suggests that the problem could be the configuration.

    Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk utility. Insert your flash key and look at the settings. It may look like this:

    Everything on this list must be verified. While you're there, see if your USB is correctly configured:

  • Can't hear any sound, volume keys use, etc.

    Using a retina 5 k 27 "iMac late 2015, 3.3 GHz Core i5 with Radeon R9 M395, El Capitan running. End of partitioned and installed Boot Camp with an iso of Windows 8.1 without any problem on OS X.

    When Windows 8.1 Boot Camp:

    • keys of volume and numeric keypad do not work on the Apple USB keyboard
    • No sound coming out of loudspeakers
    • cannot adjust the brightness with keyboard

    Used a free update for Windows 10 in Windows 8.1, hoping that would fix the drivers and compatibility. There can be no. Questions persist.

    I tried to download the drivers of the BCA separately, but will not yet in any download. The progress bar just sits there, about an inch long, and the estimated download time is approximately 10 minutes all the way up to 65 minutes and then again down, repeatedly. It lies over and over again with no progress. I let it sit for an hour doing it, and does not. When I tried to download page Apple support zip files and goes in this direction, the Windows operating system says that I can't use these drivers with this machine or something to that effect.

    Followed instructions from Apple to make the partition and all this BCA so I don't know what happened. After selecting the drive of the partition (I think it was number 5) during the installation of Windows 8.1, it seemed that it went well. But the context menu to reboot into OS X option was not found and when I boot in OS X, the hard drive icon to boot camp on my desk under Macintosh HD is the title of "Untitled" instead of Boot Camp? I don't know if this helps to indicate what could be the issue. I tried searching both within these boards and other places that Google provides and does not. Almost all of the results were the Apple laptops or no - 5 k iMacs.

    Help, please. And I would like to know if there is any other information, I can provide that would help.

    Certain categories of Installation and storage and USB/mouse/keyboard/Trackpad because it is both a bit.

    1. you use a wired connection to download the drivers from BC to help Wizard of BC?

    2. What is your current version of Windows OS - 8.1 or 10?

    3. What are the listed drivers Apple and keyboard and Interface devices?

    4 do you have yellow triangle with an exclamation point in Device Manager?
