Move from MS Office of Win7 for XP virtual machine

I ran my first Windows 7 Pro 64-bit install on a new system, and I put the XP mode.  I installed MS Office 2003 (Yes, we're still here) in Windows 7, not realizing it is not available in XP mode.  Can I move my Office 2003 from Win7 to virtual XP machine without needing another CD key?

You will need to read the EULA for your version of Microsoft Office 2003, and see what he says about installs several with a product key.  Some licenses allow several installed in certain circumstances.

Can I install Microsoft Office on two computers with one license?

http://www.ehow.com/way_6177918_can-two-computers-one-License_.html

If you are not eligible for additional installation you will need to uninstall Windows 7 and install it on XP.  If there is some activation problems these should be easily resolved through Activation of the phone.

When in Windows 7, you should be able to run Office XP (Mode) without starting the VM is (virtually).

    Hello

    I found the solution.

    I disabled the JOB BE general relativity.

    and the host where the virtual machine belong was not the right time. No Ntp server has been configured.

    I did and now there works.

    I think that the problem can come from this.

    Can join a Cluster of storage disk out of Maintenance DTS Mode to set up the profiles for a virtual machine storage policies?...


    IE can you define the rules of affinity DTS depending on how the rules of storage of profiles are configured for a virtual machine?

    In my mind it seems there is disconnect from the DTS and storage profiles.

    Thank you.

    = NOTE =.

    My lab at home, 2 organizes running ESXi 5.0

    Dv01 has

    Vmfs 1 TB 7200 RPM = VM02-VMFS

    VM02 has

    Vmfs 1 TB 7200 RPM = VM02-VMFS

    Vmfs 5900 RPM 2 TB = VM02-TV01

    I have (3) facility profiles of storage using 'User-defined storage Capablity' as shown below:

    (160 @ 7200 RPM SATA) boot > Boot

    Fast (160 7200 RPM SATA and 1 TB @ 7200 RPM SATA) > fast

    Slow (2 TB @ 5900 RPM SATA) > slow

    Then, I set up a storage Cluster with my local disks on dv01 (only to date)

    LocalVM disc dv01-BOOT and dv01-VMFS disk of the 'cluster of storage.

    I have a computer virtual called DC01 (HardDisk1) want to live on 'Boot' profile storage drive
    His "Non-compliant" poster according to the storage profile, it should run on drive 'boot' on dv01

    To get to this point, I put the StorageCluster in Mode of Maintenace 'DTS' and forced a sVmotion of all virtual machines off dv01-BOOT

    No disks are IO or claim of space.

    But once I take the 'DTS Maintenacne mode' STARTUP dv01 floppy is now get the DTS to return him to satisfy the storage profile (rule) I install... IE do the 'storage profile' VM complient (without doing a few externall API, the PS script or the 3rd party software calls)... ??

    Seems weird it is (or may be) such disconnection of a memory of the profiles and the StorageClusters and the DTS?

    At this point, I think that storage DRS and storage profiles are two technologies to separate and work independently, but what you suggest is a great idea-

  • ESXi 5 - Longmode is disabled for this virtual machine.

    Hello

    I installed ESXi 5.0.0 469512 on a Dell Optiplex 755 with Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 processor @ 3 .00GHz with 4 GB of RAM. In the BIOS (version A21), I have the following options enabled:

    I am unable to run any 64-bit OSs. For example, when I try to start vMA VM 5.0, I get the following Message from the Virtual Machine:

    "This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.

    VT - x is not enabled (bit 0 + 2 required)

    There were other debates, where that allows "Trusted execution" cause problems. I "suggest that you configure the settings of the BIOS as follows:"

  • Upgrade VMware Tools for multiple virtual machines by power Cli

    Hello

    I'm looking to improve the tools of vmware for several virtual machines through scripts. As VM1, VM2, Vm3,... VM50.

    Update-tools-VM VM1 - NoReboot  (Applicable only for virtual machines unique sound)

    Any help will be appreciated in do I have to upgrade about 100 VMs which was migrated from ESX3.5 to ESXi4.1

    Thank you

    VMguys

    The cmdlet Update-tools has a NoReboot parameter.

    When you set this switch, normally should not be a reboot after the upgrade.

    Get-VM-name (1.50 | % {' VM$ _ "}) | Update-tools - NoReboot

    If you set the switch to $false, there will be a restart if necessary.

    Get-VM-name (1.50 | % {' VM$ _ "}) | Update-tools - NoReboot: $false

    Note that this method of first creating a table with all the names of the virtual machine you want, is faster than the previous example, I gave.

    In this case you only do a Get - VM with all the names, instead of 50 individual.

  • How to configure the CD driver on the host for a virtual machine?

    After you create a virture machine and put the CD of driver on host, when powered on the vertual machine, may not start the drive form the CD only from NIC.

    How to configure the CD driver on the host for a virtual machine?

    Right-click on the virtual computer and go to edit settings. Click the Options tab and under the tip list, there should be Boot Options. Enter an amount of milliseconds to wait before your boot, so you can activate the CD-ROM. You can also activate the CD even if it boots to the NETWORK card option, and then reset the virtual machine. Get the focus of this virtual machine on the console session, and then press ctrl-alt-insert. Your CD-ROM will stay connected if you do not want to delay the startup process.

  • SRM 5.5 - vSphere replication - error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine. A snapshot operation cannot be performed

    Hi all, we have just run a test DR failover of a couple of virtual machines in our protected our failover site and all site swung perfectly, two virtual machines came online and all applications work well. However when we cam to r-eprotect machines virtual, we get some errors.

    One of the virtual machines seems to have lived the reprotect end process, it is still running, but has not moved to 89% for some time. The virtual machine has a couple of grand (a little less than 2 TB) VMDK. slow progress is just a consequence of the large VMDK?

    More worrisome is the virtual machine which don't reprotect at all. It generates an error whenever I click on the "Restore" button (error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine.) A snapshot operation can not be performed).


    Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Andy

    Finally got to the bottom of this. The issue was that reprotect SRM work was trying to dispel any snapshots that were taken on the computer object virtual destination in VMWare, but could not clean snapshots.

    The reason why snapshots would not consolidate was because it was snapshots of temporary VEEAM who in fact any snapshot file listed in the VSAN data store. So when we looked through the browser data store, no snapshot file existed in the virtual computers folder. Trying a manual removal also failed.

    To fix this, we created a snapshot of the virtual machine in the original data center (note is the engine to the bottom of the virtual machine), this effect was to get rid of the 'fade' snapshot that was visible in the Snapshot Manager that VEEAM backup had left behind. Once this had disappeared, the reprotect back to DCA worked perfectly.

  • Definition of levels of booking for a virtual machine

    The vcloud usage meter says:

    NET points = (vGB hours X points per 1 GB reserved RAM) / hours per month


    A month calendar of 30 days, a service provider uses the vCloud package provider services - first Edition to configure its virtual machine with 16 vGB for 15 days and 48 vGB 15 days remaining. The level of booking for the virtual machine is set to 75 percent for the whole month.

    15 days x 24 hours x 16 vGB x 0.75 = 4 320 hours of vGB

    15 days x 24 hours x 24 vGB (vGB 48 x 0.75 but capped at 24 GB) = 8 640 hours of vGB

    Total number of hours of vGB = 12 960 hours of vGB

    Total points = 12 960 vGB hours ÷ 720 hours / month x 7 points (for Prime Minister) = 126 points

    Where "the level of booking' for a virtual machine?  Is - this talk on VM bookings each parameter in vCenter Server, or do something to the extent of consumption vCloud himself?

    Hello. The reservation level is set for each virtual machine, using a vSphere Client or API.

  • VCenter shows a network for a virtual machine that is not associated with any host

    I have a win2k3 VM who at one point had a network assigned to him called "MONITORING".  This network is configured is no longer in the ESXi (5.5) environment.  The virtual machine is connected to a network called "PRD-SURVEILLANCE" which is correct.  It's not really cause a problem, but I can't find a way to get rid of the object of MONITORING network.

    In VCenter MONITORING networks has a VM of 1 meter, the number of hosts of 0.  I also see it in the VM - dialog box, change the settings, but there is no option to remove it.  Profile Image to the virtual machine is version 10 so I can't use the old Client of VI to try to remove it.  I have checked each host and do not see this listed network object.

    I tried to restart the VM, it migration between hosts, changing its network of SURVEILLANCE of PRD to another network and vice versa and close - remove NIC and add a new card network.  MONITORING legacy network still appears in the config.

    For the virtual machine's .vmx file shows that the correct network: ethernet0.networkName = 'RDP-ANALYSIS '.

    Any suggestions on how I can remove the artifact of MONITORING network?

    The virtual machine has a preview that was created at the time where the MONITORING network was still affected?

    We cannot determine why CBT is "denied".  Has anyone here run across this issue before or seen any other type of backup VMware image have denied CBT?

    Everything I checked watch that CBT is successfully activated since the file vmx for the customer to the Avamar config.

    After spending some time on this issue, the ultimate resolution withdrew the Avamar vm and then add it again.  After that, CBT began to work properly.  It seems that there is a parameter that has been 'stuck' pertaining to this virtual machine that wasn't behaving properly.

  • Disable the clichés for individual virtual machines?

    Is it possible to disable support for snapshot for individual virtual machines, perhaps via a parameter for it?  Or is the closest answer you to put all its virtual disks in independent mode?  Try to see how to better meet the requirements that certain suppliers impose that the VM/device does not catch instant and thought that the best solution is to disable the feature for the specific VM (s) only.  Thank you!
