Good News Everybody!

Please report any problems to david (at) midrange.com.




The cloning operation in vmware (and most likely others too) give the new
machine enough new hardware to trigger revalidation of XP, which is a pain
when you have a lot of different software which might step on each others toes.

What's the problem? So it sees a requirement to reactivate and you click "ok." At worst it says you've activated too many times and you call MS and say "moved into a VM" and IF YOU HAVE A VALID LICENSE they just give you the code over the phone. I've done it numerous times w/out a problem.

Of course, if you're saying that you've got one license and you'd like to run it in numerous VMs... well I can see the problem. :-)
