Transfer of personal use of Boot Camp Virtual Machine license

Hello!

I bought a disc of system integrator OEM 64 - bit Windows 8 for use under the terms of the personal use license and it installed on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp.
It turns out that the integrated graphics (Intel HD 3000) is not available in configuration dual-boot.
so I cannot use the dedicated graphics card (AMD Radeon HD 6750 M) (for which I should apparently accused Apple, but that's off-topic anyway).
Using the graphics card Intel (for example Quick Sync Video support) has been the reason why I chose a dual boot as opposed to a virtual machine configuration.
Because this does not work, I will try and transfer the installation on a virtual machine in the near future.
I understand that the personal use license does not allow me to run the two facilities (Boot Camp and VM), but do I have that right to say
the conditions of licence it is for me to transfer the license to a virtual machine, as I have delete the partition Boot Camp of my MacBook Pro?
Assuming the above is correct, how exactly would ensure the transfer is as painless as possible? For example:
-AFAICT I would have to get in touch with a Microsoft Product Activation Center by phone.
Is there a better and/or other method or is it my best bet?
-It would be best to call before you do anything, or only after the installation of Windows in the VM (i.e. upon activation)?
-Should what information I have ready to give Microsoft?
Thank you

That's right, simply remove the installation of Boot Camp, then you can transfer to a virtual computer and reactivate by phone:

1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4

2. then press the ENTER"" key.

3. Select your "country" in the list.

4. choose the option "activate phone".

5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

Nope. activation of the phone is your only option.
-It would be best to call before you do anything, or only after the installation of Windows in the VM (i.e. upon activation)?
You can not, you make the call "after" you have transferred the license.
-Should what information I have ready to give Microsoft?
 
Your Confirmation ID, it will appear in the activation window.

  • Merge cannot make Boot Camp virtual machine: perhaps too many places of the VM?

    I get the error message, well known in the VM library window "Bundle" & lt; pathname & gt; "" / Boot Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot partition.vmware.vm Camp "is damaged and cannot be opened."   However, my problem is not solved by the solutions proposed elsewhere in this forum.

    At the bottom of this post, I listed my host config and invited desired config.

    Here is a brief history, followed by what happened when I tried the solution of WoodyZ published here.

    • I had Windows XP Pro SP2 on my Boot Camp partition, but somehow ended up 'inaccessible' SigmaTel audio device and the Leopard installation DVD could not repair it.  I imported this partition to Boot Camp in the Fusion as a virtual machine.  This virtual machine is now stored on the external hard drive in "/ Volumes/ExternHFS/_CCCnonBackup/virtualMachines/Boot partition.vmwarevm"+ Camp.»  This virtual machine still works when loading in the merger, but the sound does not work, nor made a called M-audio Transit USB connector.  That's why I decided to create a new partition in Boot Camp with a SigmaTel audio device cool.

    • There are Kubuntu and NetBSD virtual computers stored in another default folder: yangguizi/Users / / Documents/Virtual Machines /

    • Using wizard Boot Camp in Leopard, I erased my Boot Camp partition and then recreated with a new installation of Windows XP Pro SP2.  (By the way, I've formatted this partition in NTFS.)  This Boot Camp partition is the device of SigmaTel installed and accessible from the control panel.

    So I wanted to make a virtual machine of the new Boot Camp partition.  When I opened the merger, I highlighted the new Boot Camp partition down and clicked on the arrow of comments are starting to the right.  A window saying "Vmware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine.  This may take a few minutes.  This will be possible once. "That window remained open for 45 minutes.  Finally, I closed merge by clicking the choice of menu to quit Vmware Fusion.

    Thereafter, whenever I opened the merger, I saw the message "Bundle" / Users/yangguizi/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Machines virtuelles/Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot Boot Camp partition.vmware.vm "is damaged and cannot be opened.' " next to the new Boot Camp partition.

    When I highlighted this new Boot Camp partition in the VM library and you press the delete key, absolutely nothing changed, that I could see.  Right click on the list of this score showed that the menu choice 'delete' is gray.

    Then I closed the merger, and then manually moving the file to the trash "/ Users/yangguizi/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp / '.

    The next time I opened the merger, a new icon for the Boot Camp partition has been displayed at the bottom, with the subtitle "Powered Off".  When I clicked on the icon start Guest, a new folder/Boot Camp / was created in the same place, and the never-ending open window showing "Vmware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine.  This may take a few minutes.  This will be possible once. " Blah, blah, blah.  If the cycle turned up.

    I am at a loss what to try next.  Here are three assumptions about the problem:

    1. Fusion has been confused by the three communities during which I virtual machines.

  • Fusion has been confused by the fact that I have, potentially, two virtual machines called "Boot Camp partition".  The older is actually a virtual machine hard disk external.

  • When I installed XP in the Boot Camp partition, the external Firewire drive was running. Then installing Windows saw much more of partitions on which XP could in theory have been installed.  This may have confused merge somehow, even if I successfully installed XP on partition C, which was 32 GB.

  • Did fix you this problem?  Even if you haven't, what do you suggest me I try next?

    Thank you, Yang Guizi

  • After update of El Capitan, Fusion 8 will not open the Boot Camp virtual machine

    Greetings!

    I'm having a problem with the Fusion 8 since my update to El Capitan.   My Boot Camp partition is functional and I can boot directly into it very well - all my files and data are intact.   However, when I try to start the machine Boot Camp in a virtual machine within OS x, I get the following error:

    Operation not permitted

    Cannot open disk "/ Administrator/Users / / Library/Application Support/VMWare Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/Boot Camp 2.vmwarevm/Boot Camp 2.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends."   Module 'Disc' on failed.   Unable to start the virtual machine. »

    I remember a message from the update of El Capitan, indicating that it is an element incompatible Parallels and disabled.   I thought it was the components of laggard remains from when I ran a parallel trial a year ago, but perhaps it is related?

    Help, please!

    Hi gang,.

    I have a solution for this!   After I created this post, I created a ticket with support and they solved it for me.

    Here's the skinny: El Capitan has changed something wise permissions to access data files on the Bootcamp partition.  VMWare said they were working to solve this, but in the meantime they had me do made me upward and short... just remove the entry of the virtual machine Boot Camp in Fusion and recreate it.   I recommend you save beforehand in case where, but this process does not affect the data on your partition, only one definition of the Fusion of the virtual machine and how you can access your score.

  • Cannot use Win8 Boot Camp partition for vm installation

    So I have a new installation of Windows 8 RTM (from TechNet!) new in Boot Camp. However, Fusion 4.1.3 both the Tech Preview will be forever stuck on 'Partition of preparation to present itself as a virtual machine

    Fusion 5 supports Windows 8 Boot Camp.

    The problem, I think you saw, a failure to "VMware Fusion is preparing to present itself as a virtual machine" can be caused by the State of the Windows registry. While I do not have a fix for this right now (us have a bug filed and work on it), I have a workaround.

    The problem occurs after the Boot Camp virtual machine has been put in place, but before it is turned on for the first time as a virtual machine. Fusion strives to insert registry keys and allow drivers to the boot device, and in some situations, it is unable to do. To work around the problem, you can add these keys and activations of pilot (!) manually, under Boot Camp itself. They do not interfere with the help of Boot Camp natively.

    If the problem occurs, you should

    (1) find the folder/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Resources/naos-1.0.vmwarevm/reconfig.iso and open it in OS X, which will mount the ISO.

    (2) copy the 'bootcamp.reg' on the ISO file and copy it to a folder on your Mac, or on a USB key. We will have this file from Windows.

    (3) restart your Mac under Bootcamp native.

    (4) from Windows, find the file bootcamp.reg where you saved it and double click to add these settings in the registry.

    (5) restart your Mac under OS X, start the merge and recreate the machine virtual Boot Camp.

    (6) it is likely that it will fail again at the stage of the "preparation of your virtual machine", but it is more critical because the necessary settings have been added to the register already. What to do, is prevent the Fusion to remove the virtual machine when you acknowledge the failure. We will do this by renaming the virtual machine.

    (7) when the Committee alert error is displayed, use Terminal or Finder to rename the virtual computer. You will find the Boot Camp virtual machine in your home folder in ~/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp. Note that the ~/Library folder is hidden by default in OS X Lion and Mountain Lion, so the simplest to get this folder of the Terminal, no viewfinder. If you want to do the renaming via the Finder, open a Terminal window and enter the command "open ~/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp" and Finder opens the folder normally hidden for you. Rename all of the Boot Camp virtual machine, which will prevent the Fusion to remove it as a failure, then acknowledge the alert Panel. You can rename the VM Boot Camp to 'Boot Camp', or simply drag it to the library of VM merger under the name that you gave.

  • Unable to connect to the network in Windows 7 using the Boot Camp via Fusion 2.0.4 partition

    I know that Windows 7 RC is not officially supported, but I was wondering if anyone had ideas regarding my current situation.  I'm running the RC 32 - bit of a Boot Camp partition, via merger on a unibody MacBook, and whenever I'm in Fusion Windows cannot connect to my network.  Previously, I had a vm file-based and it worked normally, and in Boot Camp, I can get online without problem.  I went to training Camp to see if the Aero effects would work (they did after I ran the test of Windows experience).  I tried mode Bridged and NAT and any Windows does not see my wireless network.

    At the time current Windows 7 in any version is not supported by Apple on the Boot Camp partition, nor is it supported in any way under Fusion.

    Take a look at the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file and make sure that the NIC is showing that "e1000" as in the following example.

    ethernet0.virtualDEV = "e1000"
    

    To get the location of the Machine configuration file virtual .vmx take a look at the Beginner's Guide has VMware Fusion or gather Information for VMware Fusion.

    Note: You should make the change while Windows is shutdown, not suspended and merger closed.

    You can use TextEdit to edit the .vmx of the target Virtual Machine configuration file and locate the file...

  • Configure a DNS SERVER to use SCANNING for Solaris virtual machines

    Version of the grid: 11.2.0.3
    Planning of a two node RAC cluster

    I create a CAR with Solaris VM setup in my office. Although a virtual machine configuration, I don't want to use the file/etc/hosts for name resolution that I will completely test SCAN. That is to say. All the ANALYSIS VIPs turning way responsive when nslookup is run.

    I can do one of my 2 RAC nodes a DNS server?

    If anyone has any document on Linux/Solaris, please let me know.

    Hello

    technically Yes, but it won't help you in a way. If the node with the DNS server dies your cluster will not work properly more.

    However, for a test cluster, you don't need DNS. You can simply stay with 1 address for the SCAN, which is quite enough (for the test, no production). No need to go through the DNS installation. It would be an exaggeration to this configuration of VBox.

  • Servers running on virtual machines licenses?

    Hi all

    I have a question on the implementation of license on VMware ESX 3.5 VMs servers.  Some applications have licenses FLEXLM is fixed on the MAC address of physical servers or USB dongle on the server.

    If I intend to move these physical servers to virtual how changes in regimes licenses for these applications?

    Previous experiences on the same will certainly help. Thank you.

    Concerning

    Sirot

    Yes, we run license servers in virtual machines.  For license servers that are associated with the MAC address, you can statically configure the MAC to a virtual computer, but the license server will need to be updated with the new MAC address.  For license servers that use a USB dongle, USB Anywhere of Digi is the best route and we are currently using this solution.

    Sending digital data in an analog format via voip can be very difficult.  This is because the data must be converted into a digital format for transmission and then at some point convert analog back.  Conversions must be very precise.

    In addition, the sending of credit card data that is not encrypted via voip could violate the security of the credit card industry requirements.

    Sending data via voip is a bit similar to send a fax over voip.  The SPA3102 and Guides of Administration SPA122 have sections recommending special settings for sending fax via voip data using the G711 codec.

    Note: These steps assume that you have a default Apple installation of Windows and a VMware Fusion Boot Camp Virtual Machine default partition (without a snapshot *) and if you have changed the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine to add additional hard disks to be virtual or RAW disk then do not use these instructions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine package first.  * Note that Fusion 2.0.0 may accidentally have a snapshot with the partition Boot Camp, Virtual Machine, and it should not have then you should check to ensure that the condition does not exist as well.
