Hello,
i have a PC with a Vista Ultimate (32 Bit) installation, which is running
fine so far.
I tried to install Virtual PC 2007 on it and created a virtual PC with the
same Vista Ultimate DVD, which was used to setup the PC itself.
Installation in Virtual PC 2007 also runs, so far no problem, but i cannot
activate the installation.
When i start activation, Microsoft server tells me, that i must use a
different key !?!
Correct me if i am wrong, but i thought the advantage of Vista Ultimate was
to be able to use it in Virtualization environment.
What could be the problem ? Any hints ?
My DVD is a system builder edition, could this make a problem ?
BTW: My system is a dual boot (one WinXP license and one Vista Ultimate
license). I tried the same under WinXP, but also there Windows Vista
Ultimate under Virtual PC 2007 running on WinXP tells me: "Activation not
possible - give me another key..:".
PC is C2D with E6700, 2 GB RAM, Asus P2B Deluxe Wifi, no RAID used, two SATA
harddisks a ~ 300 GB.
Regards,
Martin
