    Hi,

    I have installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on a Boot Camp partition and everything works fine when booting up Windows the normal way. I added the Boot Camp partition to Parallels 6.
    But when I boot it in Parallels it says that it is not genuine. I think it is because Windows detects so many hardware changes.

    Does anyone know how to fix this so it is genuine in both Boot Camp and Parallels?

    Best regards
    Andreas

    Do you not get an option to activate while running in Parallels?

    Was the Windows 7 an OEM System Builder version or a normal retail version?

    Getting the same issue here -- at the point now that neither my BootCamp nor my Parallels installs will work without calling MS to reactiveate.
