    Am running Parallels v3 and am getting the following message when booting my XP Bootcamp install via Parallels:

    "Windows is unable to read license information" or something similar to that.

    The Windows XP SP2 is a Volume License.

    Is there something special that needs to be done when dealing with volume licensing and Parallels?

    Thanks
    Jason

    Even though it is a "beta" application, Parallels supports it, so there shouldn't be a problem.
