i am not understanding something and am wondering if something changed.
i am trying to get a new mac pro set up with windows 7 and am not sure what my licensing requirements are but also i am not sure what to do.
in the past Parallels seemed to create a .pvm file that was your /virtualized/ windows installation and now it seems like there is some way to work in the boot camp installation via parallels in some kind of virtualized way? or i guess this has always existed but it was via a /selection/ and now parallels calls it "Boot Camp"?
i mean, does anyone know if this is basically working in windows as a virtualized machine but also allowing the opportunity to boot directly into the boot camp partition? i mean, AFAIK when i was originally using parallels with a pvm file i ONLY had a virtualized machine and i did not have a boot camp install or maybe at one point i did set up a boot camp install that was controlled by a parallels virtual machine?
i guess i don't get this.
also, i have a couple of machine and need to set up actual boot camp installs and still have legacy virtual machines so i am not sure how my licensing is affected or how to go forward in thinking about transferring boot camp installs etc. does anyone know if my virtual machine install (like a .pvm file i guess or any virtualized access of windows 7) counts against my number of licenses if it is on the same machine as a boot camp install?
THANKS
